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.
