Abstract :

This study aimed to compare the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between
patients with fractured zygoma who received surgery in the early stage and patients who delayed
their surgery. Data were collected over a period of 2 years from a total of 40 patients, divided into
two groups of 20. The Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) questionnaire was used to assess
the impact of oral health on daily activities. It was found that patients who underwent surgery in the
8-14-day range after the incident had a better OHRQoL compared to those who underwent surgery
in the 1-7-day range after the incident. This difference was statistically significant during the first
week after surgery.
