Patient-reported oral health-related quality of life (OHrQoL) as assessed by GOHAI sum-scores recorded at baseline (before surgery), at 6, 12, and 24 months. Mean GOHAI scores (± SD) in subjects (n = 43) treated with late OT (red line) and early OT (black line). Mean GOHAI scores (±SD) for subjects (n = 30) with OT completed in less or equal to 24 months are presented separately. GOHAI scores are expressed as total sum scores with all 12 questions included (values ranging from 0 to 48) with higher scores indicating greater negative impact on oral health-related quality of life [28].
