Resumo: Objective: To evaluate Quality of Life (QoL) scores in patients who underwent surgical treatment of mandibular ameloblastomas without secondary reconstructive surgery. Study Design: This is a single-center cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care Brazilian hospital. QoL was assessed using University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire for patients with Head and Neck Cancer (UW-QOL) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Mann-Whitney and independent t-test were used to assess the association of QoL scores with predictive variables. Results: Twenty individuals were enrolled. Most of them were male (70%), with a mean age of 29.55±13.28 years. Ten individuals (50%) underwent at least one radical surgical resection. Most of the participants reported impairment in 'Apperarence', 'Chewing', 'Speech' and 'Anxiety' domains of UW-QOL. Mean OHIP-14 score was 4.75±3.36. Worst OHIP-14 scores were associated to anterior teeth loss due to the tumor (p = 0.013). The overall and health-related QoL was rated as 'Good' in 65% and 45% of the cases, respectively. Conclusion: Surgical treatment for mandibular ameloblastomas has a significative functional and aesthetic impairment in patients' QoL. However, surgical modality and tumor recurrence did not seem to affect QoL. Only anterior teeth loss was a significative predictive factor of worst QoL scores.
