A Study To Evaluate The Shape And Size of Sella Turcica And Its Correlation with The Type of Malocclusion on Lateral Cephalometric Radiographs

Sella Turcica Abnormalities, Dental Age and Dental Abnormalities in Polish Children

“…Kucia et al [ 5 ] added three other variants of sellar dysmorphology to the classification: hypertrophic posterior clinoid process, hypotrophic posterior clinoid process, and oblique contour of the floor. The most commonly investigated anomaly of sella turcica is sella turcica bridging [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Bridging is described as a fusion of anterior and posterior clinoid processes [ 6 ].…”

“…In cephalometric studies including healthy individuals, complete sella turcica bridging appears from 1.10% to 11.67% [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Kucia et al [ 5 ] proved that compared to those with normal sella, craniofacial morphology in patients with sella turcica abnormalities was characterized by significantly higher angles of incisor inclination and a more retruded mandibular alveolus.…”

Correlation Between Vertical Growth Patterns of the Jaws and Sella Turcica's Linear Dimensions Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography in an Egyptain Subpopulation.

“…(6) Furthermore, an evident change in the sella turcica's shape was found by Russell and Kjaer among prenatal and postnatal children with fragile X and Down syndrome. (7) Different studies were conducted using conventional lateral cephalograms by Valizadeh et al (8) , Alkofide (9) and Motawani et al (10) trying to correlate between the shape and size of the sella turcica and the anteroposterior relationship of the jaws within different populations. In addition to other multiple studies performed assessing the vertical growth pattern of the jaws and its relation to the shape and size of the sella turcica.…”

“…In addition to other multiple studies performed assessing the vertical growth pattern of the jaws and its relation to the shape and size of the sella turcica. (8)(9)(10) In a study performed by Rohria and Jain (11) , 90 patients were divided equally into three groups, a hypodivergent, normodivergent and hyperdivergent ones according to their vertical cepahalometric readings. Furthermore, they studied the sella's shape as well regarding, its dimensions in terms of diameter, length and depth and correlated those findings together.…”

Correlation of linear dimensions of sella turcica with anteroposterior skeletal jaw relationship of Egyptian subjects using CBCT

“…(7) Several studies have been conducted to correlate the size and shape of the sella turcica and the anteroposterior relationship of the jaws in different populations using conventional lateral cephalograms. (8)(9)(10) From the abovementioned review it could be seen that the previous studies were conducted using lateral cephalograms and none to our knowledge was performed on an Egyptian sample.…”
