Oral health-related quality of life (ohrqol) of oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc) patients

Abstract

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) patients suffer from the terrible consequences of the disease and its treatment modalities, and as a result, their Quality of Life (QoL) and Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) is badly affected, especially due to functional limitation, physical disability and psychological disability that they encounter before, during and after treatment. There is a need for more research on OHRQoL of OSCC patients at various treatment intervals. The present study focused on investigating OHRQoL of OSCC patients at the post-treatment phase.
