| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: The relationship between shape and morphology of sella turcica and different vertical skeletal classes has been a focus of investigation since the late 19th century. By introducing Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to the orthodontic field, studying such a relation became possible and accurate. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the relation between the linear dimensions of the sella turcica and different vertical growth patterns in adults using CBCT. Patients and Methods: Conebeam computed tomographic images of 54 adults were acquired. They were grouped into three groups of 18 each: Vertical growth pattern group, normal growth pattern group and horizontal growth pattern group. The length, depth, and diameter of sella turcica were measured in each group using Dolphin software program. In addition; Mimics Medical Software was used for accurate volumetric analysis of sella turcica. Results: Regarding Length (mm), Depth (mm), and Diameter (mm) of sella turcica, there was a statistically non-significant difference between the three groups. As for Diameter (mm); there was a statistically significant positive correlation with SN-MP in the High angle group. Regarding Volume, there was a statistically non-significant positive correlation with SN-MP in all groups. Conclusion: The length, depth, diameter and volume of sella turcica showed no difference in all groups. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between SN-MP angle with sella turcica diameter in the High angle individuals. | ||
