Background: The aim of the study was to compare the oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between cancer survivors: with rapid orthodontic treatment (TX) (up to 12 months) and standard TX (orthodontic treatment time longer than 16 months). Methods: There were 76 cancer survivors (48 women and 28 men) allocated into groups with rapid (36 people) or standard (40 people) duration of TX. OHRQoL was assessed on the basis of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) values, measured before TX, 2 weeks and 3 months after the onset of TX, and after the end of TX. A repeated ANOVA test was used to check the statistical significance between the scores. Results: There were no significant differences regarding the OHIP-14 values between the examined groups at all stages of the examination. Both groups presented significant (p < 0.001) improvement of the values of OHRQoL at the end of TX comparing to the values achieved before the onset of TX. Conclusions: Duration of orthodontic treatment by itself had no impact on oral-health-related quality of life.

采用快速或标准持续​​治疗方案进行正畸治疗的癌症幸存者患者口腔健康影响概况 (OHIP-14) 值的比较——一项前瞻性病例对照研究

背景：该研究的目的是比较癌症幸存者之间的口腔健康相关生活质量 (OHRQoL)：快速正畸治疗 (TX)（长达 12 个月）和标准 TX（正畸治疗时间超过 16 个月） ）。方法：76 名癌症幸存者（48 名女性和 28 名男性）被分为快速 TX 持续时间组（36 人）或标准 TX 持续时间组（40 人）。OHRQoL 根据口腔健康影响概况 (OHIP-14) 值进行评估，这些值在 TX 之前、TX 开始后 2 周和 3 个月以及 TX 结束后测量。使用重复方差分析检验来检查分数之间的统计显着性。结果：在检查的各个阶段，检查组之间的OHIP-14值没有显着差异。与 TX 开始前获得的值相比，两组在 TX 结束时的 OHRQoL 值均出现显着 ( p < 0.001) 改善。结论：正畸治疗本身的持续时间对口腔健康相关的生活质量没有影响。
