The change of patients’ psychosomatic symptoms after orthognathic surgery

Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To assess the change of patients’ psychological status before and after orthognathic surgery. METHODS: The psychological status in 36 patients were assessed before and after orthognathic surgery using the SCL-90 questionnaire. The patients were allowed to evaluate the changes of mastication, facial aesthetics, pronunciation and function of temporomandibular joint subjectively through the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS13.0 software package. RESULTS: Six factors including obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, phobic anxiety and psychoticism were significantly higher than norm preoperatively. No obvious abnormalities were found 2 years after operation. The self-evaluated quotas by patients after operation were significantly improved compared with those preoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The patients’ psychosomatic symptoms are significantly improved after operation. No significant difference is found compared with ordinary people concerning psychological health.
