Aim: The objective was to evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in patients aging 18 - 60 years, considering oral health, dental aesthetic impact and self-esteem. Methods: The sample comprised 81 patients, regardless gender/ethnicity, seeking for dental aesthetic treatment at University São Francisco, Bragança Paulista-SP. The instruments used to assess the OHRQOL were the questionnaires: 1. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS); 2. Oral Health Impact Profile-14 Brazil (OHIP) and 3. Psychosocial Impact and Aesthetic Dental Questionnaire-Brazil (PIADQ). Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation (α=5%) and descriptive statistics. Results: The older the patient the worse the oral and general health conditions found (p<0.05). Moreover, the age showed significant correlation with OIHP and PIADQ questionnaires scores (p=0.000). The three questionnaires showed moderate positive correlations (p<0.05 r=0.461 – 0.685) among them. In addition, OHIP and QIPED questionnaires correlated with general health and oral health (p<0.05 r=0.230–0.558). Conclusion: It could be concluded that aesthetic dental needs interfere, in fact, in the oral health-related quality of life and in the self-steem of patients seeking for treatment University São Francisco Dental School.

(1) Objective: To investigate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and self-esteem (SE) of a population with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) and to compare it with a non-affected control cohort. (2) Materials and methods: This study comprised 91 CLP patients and a control group of 790 individuals, seeking orthodontic treatment. OHRQoL and SE were assessed by the Child’s Perception Questionnaire (CPQ) and the Dutch adaptation of the Harter’s Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents. Treatment need and self-perception of oral aesthetic were assessed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and the Oral Aesthetic Subjective Impact Scale (OASIS). Patients’ expectations and motivation for treatment were also scored. Linear models were used for statistical comparisons between groups. (3) Results: The cleft group scored higher in all domains of the CPQ, OASIS, IOTN and regarding SE for the domains of scholastic competence, athletic competence, physical appearance and behavioral conduct. The cleft group was not only more motivated and expected less discomfort during treatment but also had higher expectations for the treatment outcome. (4) Conclusions: The OHRQoL of CLP patients is strongly correlated with the presence of an oral cleft, while SE remains a personal resource not influenced by the malocclusion or medical condition.

<p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Objective</strong>: The purpose of this study was to assess Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHQoL) among orthodontic patients who had micro-implants.</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Methods</strong>: This pilot study involved a total of sixteen orthodontics patients. The samples were selected from the postgraduate orthodontic clinic, Faculty of Dentistry Universiti Teknologi MARA. The study consisted of five (31.3%) males and eleven females (68.8%), aged between 18-30 years. The patients were divided equally into two groups (control and titanium alloy micro-implant). The micro-implants had diameter of 1.6mm and length of 8mm. Eight patients were treated without using micro-implant for the control group. The micro-implants were inserted by single operator. Cases with higher anchorage requirement were selected for micro-implant placements. The oral health quality of life was assessed by using S-OHIP14 (M) Malay version at two times which is before micro-implant insertion (T₀) and after four weeks’ micro-implant insertion (T₁).</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Results</strong>: There were no significant different found on functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability and handicap domains of OHIP-14 between the study group and control group (P&gt;0.05).</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Conclusion</strong>: This pilot study showed that orthodontic treatment with micro-implants will not worsen the OHQoL of orthodontic patients and orthodontic patients without micro-implant perceived as having a similar level of OHQoL.</p>
