Summary: | Background: Well-planned orthognathic surgery improves
psychological health, aesthetics and function of patients.
Aim: The present study aimed to investigate patients’
satisfaction after orthognathic surgery by means of a
satisfaction questionnaire before and after surgery.
Materials and Methods: A total of 29 patients was selected
(17 women and 12 men), with a mean age of 28 years, randomly
selected from a private clinic at Araçatuba – São Paulo by
two investigators. Anamnesis and clinical examination were
performed. Subjects with facial deformities submitted to
orthodontic treatment before and after orthognathic surgery
with a minimum post-surgery period of 6 months, answered a
satisfaction questionnaire composed of 10 questions regarding
dental and facial aesthetics. In this study, the maximum
satisfaction score was 10.
Results: Regarding aesthetics, two satisfaction parameters
were investigated: dental and facial. For all indices, the average
satisfaction was up to score 7.
Conclusion: According to the results, it can be concluded
that orthognathic surgery has been an effective treatment for
dentofacial deformities, aesthetics and functional problems,
what was verified by pre and postoperative questionnaire
application. |
