Abstract: Objective: To longitudinally assess the resilience level changes in patients with dentofacial deformities before and after orthognathic surgery, and to assess its correlation with patient's life quality. Methods: Subjects of this study were dentofacial deformity patients who were admitted to Peking University Hospital of Stomatology for treatment from September 2019 to September 2020. All patients were required to fill out the CD-RISC 10 scale and OQLQ scale before surgery (T1), two weeks (T2), three months (T3), and six months (T4) after surgery. Results: Totally 96 cases had complete follow-up data. The t-test showed that the CD-RISC 10 score of patients (n=96) gradually increased after orthognathic surgery. The difference was statistically significant between T1 and T4 (P=0.02). According to pearson correlation analysis, the T1 stage resilience level was negatively correlated (P<0.05) with life quality scores in T1, T2, and T3 stages. Comparing higher and lower resilience patients, statistically significant difference existed at T1, social function and facial aesthetics of T2, oral function of T3, and social function of T4. Conclusion: The level of resilience in patients was improved after orthognathic surgery. Resilience has positive correlation with life quality and can relieve the surgical stress. The resilience is a protective factor of life quality.
