Background: Selecting the best treatment strategy for maxillofacial trauma patients has grown challenging as a result of the continuous discussion on how different therapies affect these patients{\textquoteright} quality of life. The purpose of this research is to methodically evaluate how conservative care and surgical care affect patients with maxillofacial trauma{\textquoteright}s quality of life. Methods: A systematic search was undertaken using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Wiley Online Library to locate the most recent 20 years of research comparing the effects of various treatments on the quality of life of patients with maxillofacial injuries. We also looked through relevant researchers{\textquoteright} references to find further studies. Articles were selected by applying a search strategy based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: This systematic review comprised 9 comparison studies with 944 individuals in total. The findings show that patients with maxillofacial trauma had lower quality of life initially, but that after receiving therapy, their quality of life increased to varying degrees, depending on the type of treatment. Conclusion: The majority of research revealed that patients who received MMF or ORIF did not significantly vary in terms of quality of life; however, those who were treated conservatively reported a notable improvement when compared to those who received surgical treatment (MMF/ORIF).
