Abstract
Assessment of the quality of life of patients after dental surgeries using kinesiotaping and infrared laser therapy. The study included 63 patients with symmetrical, equal in volume planned surgical interventions in the oral cavity, who were divided into 3 groups depending on the rehabilitation method: in group 1, patients underwent a course of low-intensity laser therapy, in group 2 - a course of kinesiotaping, and in group 3 - a complex use of low-intensity laser therapy and kinesiotaping. The quality of life of patients after oral surgery was assessed using the OHIP-14 questionnaire before and after rehabilitation measures. The average preoperative scores in all groups were equal and amounted to 14 points according to OHIP-14 (high quality of life indicator). In group 1, when using a course of laser therapy, the OHIP-14 indicators were: on the 1st day after surgery 20.2±1.48 points, on the 3rd day 18.8±1.75 points, on the 7th day 16.4±0.99 points; in group 2 - 19.96±1.31, 18.6±1.53, 16.3±1.01 points, respectively; in group 3 - 19.42±0.94, 18.1±1.47, 15.9±0.73 points, respectively. On the 14th day, the indicators in all groups were equal to the preoperative ones. The complex use of laser therapy and kinesiotaping most significantly improves the quality of life of patients after oral surgery.
