Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery received an Indian Copyright grant for the work on “Quality Of Life Questionnaire For Patients With Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders” with registration no. L-139603/2023. The authors aimed to develop a modified version of the questionnaire for quality of life in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders that could more suitably evaluate the QoL of patients with OPMDs and could address several domains related to the OPMDs including symptoms related to the disorders and their effects on the patient’s physical and psychological health and carryout counseling for the patients with these conditions in an effective way.
