“…In a study investigating the correlation between sella turcica size and the hypophysis, it was stated that the sella turcica can function as a skeletal unit according to the functional matrix theory and can be remodelled depending on changes in hypophysis size and function . To date, only a few studies have investigated size and morphology of the sella turcica in children with CLP.…”

“…The configuration of the sella turcica consisted of the tuberculum sella, the sella turcica floor, the dorsum sellae, and both anterior and posterior clinoid processes, was traced. The linear dimensions of sella turcica were measured using the methods of Silverman (1957) and Kisling (1966) (8) All the reference lines used in the current study were located in the midsaggital plane. (9) The length of sella turcica was measured the distance from the tuberculum sella to the tip of the dorsum sellae.…”

“…( 5)- (6) The change in hormonal level can also lead to change in the dimensions of sella turcica. ( 7)- (8) Sella turcica is an important structure in radiographic analysis of craniofacial complex. In orthodontics, sella turcica is an important structure because, sella, a hardtissue derived landmark, is located in the centre of hypophyseal fossa.…”

Background:The sella turcica is a saddle-shaped bony structure in which anterior wall is formed by tuberculum sellae and posterior wall is formed by dorsum sellae. Lateral cephalometric landmark, sella, is of paramount importance in the field of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics for diagnosis, treatment planning and assessment of skeletal maturation. * Significant literature is available indicating that large variations occur in the shape and size of sella turica among the three different types of skeletal malocclusion classes.* Studies have been conducted in different regions to evaluate the shape and size of sella turcica in different skeletal malocclusions therefore, the aim of this study is to describe the shape and measure the size of the sella turcica in south Indian subjects with different skeletal types. Materials and Methodology:Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females); 20 Class I, 20 Class II, and 20 Class III. The sella turcica on each lateral cephalometric was analysed using FACAD ortho software tracing to measure the linear dimensions of length, depth, and anteroposterior dimension. One-way analysis of variance was performed to study the relationship between skeletal type and sella size.Result: Skeletal class III subjects presented with a statistically significant difference in the depth of sella turcica on comparison with skeletal class II (p>0.01). There was statistically insignificant difference found in the anteroposterior dimension and length of sella turcica in skeletal class I, class II and class III. Conclusion:When the size of sella turcica was compared with skeletal type, a statistically significant difference was found in depth skeletal Class II and Class III subjects.

“…The gland starts to develop prior to the formation of the surrounding sella turcica , a depression in the sphenoid bone. Some pathological cases related to hypo- or hyperthyroidism show that variations in size of the gland is reflected in the shape and volume of corresponding lacunae in sella turcica (Gopalakrishnan et al, 2015 ). This suggests the presence of at least a mechanical coordination in the development of the pituitary gland and the skeletal compartment that enclose it.…”

Development of a head is a dazzlingly complex process: a number of distinct cellular sources including cranial ecto- and endoderm, mesoderm and neural crest contribute to facial and other structures. In the head, an extremely fine-tuned developmental coordination of CNS, peripheral neural components, sensory organs and a musculo-skeletal apparatus occurs, which provides protection and functional integration. The face can to a large extent be considered as an assembly of sensory systems encased and functionally fused with appendages represented by jaws. Here we review how the developing brain, neurogenic placodes and peripheral nerves influence the morphogenesis of surrounding tissues as a part of various general integrative processes in the head. The mechanisms of this impact, as we understand it now, span from the targeted release of the morphogens necessary for shaping to providing a niche for cellular sources required in later development. In this review we also discuss the most recent findings and ideas related to how peripheral nerves and nerve-associated cells contribute to craniofacial development, including teeth, during the post- neural crest period and potentially in regeneration.
