Abstract
Objective: To assess the quality of life (QoL) and the impact on oral health after oral and maxillofacial reconstruction with vascularized fibula bone graft.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytic study. The patients who were undergone oral and maxillofacial reconstruction between January 2009 and December 2017 in Dental Hospital,Prince of Songkla University were included in the study. The demographic data and clinical data were collected. The QoL was assessed by using the WHOQOL–BREF–THAI and OHIP-14 Thai version. The correlation between various factors and QoL were analysed
Results: Eighteen patients were included, 10 patients were male. Most of the patients had a mandibular defect (88%). The QoL was assessed as good in 10 cases (55.6%), as moderate in 7 cases (38.9%). During the risk analysis, harvested fibula length significantly related to the overall QoL (p=0.037). The study found that the impaction on QoL after fibular bone graft were sexual health, uncomfortable to chew some food, loss of self-confidence and inability to eat some food which the patient favors.
Conclusion: The QoL was moderate to good. Oral rehabilitation with a denture or dental implants after oral and maxillofacial reconstruction may improve the QoL in all dimensions.
