Orthognathic Surgery And Quality Of Life Outcomes: Findings From A Hospital-Based Patient Satisfaction Survey, Parth D. Shah Dds, Mph, Victor M. Badner Dmd, Mph, Benn Lieberman Dmd

The New York State Dental Journal

This study examined patient satisfaction and changes in quality of life (QoL) following the orthognathic surgery performed to treat severe dentofacial deformities. The short form of the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) instrument was utilized to measure the negative impact related to severe dentofacial deformities on QoL. Ninety-five patients participated in this survey. Respondents reported significant reduction in the overall OHIP-14 score following the orthognathic surgery (p-value<0.0001). Approximately 92% reported post-operative resolution of their chief concerns. In conclusion, orthognathic surgery was found beneficial as it significantly reduced the negative impact of severe skeletal malocclusion on QoL of the patient we surveyed.

Artificial intelligence is the ability of machines to work like humans. The concept initially began with the advent of mathematical models which gave calculated outputs based on inputs fed into the system. This was later modified with the introduction of various algorithms which can either give output based on overall data analysis or by selection of information within previous data. It is steadily becoming a favoured mode of treatment due to its efficiency and ability to manage complex conditions in all specialities. In dentistry, artificial intelligence has also popularised over the past few decades. They have been found useful for …


Prediction Of Class Iii Treatment Need And Success, Andrew Levin, James Chen Sep 2020

Prediction Of Class Iii Treatment Need And Success, Andrew Levin, James Chen

Orthodontics and Endodontics Theses

Objective: The purpose of the present study is to develop prognostic models for surgical need and treatment success for class III malocclusions. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that evaluated treatment outcomes of consecutively treated patients at UCSF from Jan 1st 2007-Jan 1st 2012 and UoP from May 1st, 2014 – May 1st 2019. Receiver operator curves were used to develop prognostic models for surgical need and treatment success for class III malocclusions. Predictor variables were selected a priori (Class III-WITS, U1-PP, IMPA). The prognostic models were validated first using a UCSF validation cohort to show consistency …


Photos And Silhouettes In Evaluating The Need For Bsso Surgery In Adult Females, Jessicah L. Moretz Sep 2013

Photos And Silhouettes In Evaluating The Need For Bsso Surgery In Adult Females, Jessicah L. Moretz

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the anterior/posterior position of the mandible at which an orthodontist and oral surgeon would advise bilateral sagittal split osteotomy advancement or set back when evaluating adult female photos and silhouettes. Material & Methods: Fifty-one adult female profile photos and lateral cephalograms were collected. Subjects were selected who met three criteria: 1) ANB of 0-2, 2) balanced profile image, and 3) age greater than 18. The image and cephalometric tracing were morphed together to allow software simulation of mandibular prognathia and retrognathia in 2 mm increments. Orthodontists and oral surgeons evaluated morphed …
