Abstract

Objective

This study is intended to review data pertaining to patient satisfaction following orthognathic surgery through a systematic literature survey.

Methods and Materials

An electronic search was done on Medline, EMBASE and CENTRAL databases. The inclusion criteria considered were as follows: (1) assessment of patients' satisfaction, (2) one-stage orthognathic surgery, and (3) follow-up period of 8 weeks or more in English literature. The exclusion criteria considered were as follows: (1) presence of craniofacial syndromes, cleft lip and palate or traumatic injuries, (2) previous facial surgery, and (3) psychological problems before surgery. The data were extracted and analyzed under three categories: function, esthetics and overall satisfaction.

Results

Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Esthetic and function were improved in majority of patients; however, it was not possible to assess the overall satisfaction levels statistically. Overall satisfaction analysis revealed that 70–87% of patients were satisfied, while nearly 15% of patients were dissatisfied with the treatment outcome.

Conclusion

Most of the patients were satisfied with the surgical outcome. However, satisfaction seemed to be multifactorial and it was not possible to predict satisfaction prior to the surgery.
