Assessment of the Relationship between Sella Turcica Morphology and Delayed Dental Age

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between sella turcica morphology and delayed dental age. In total, 389 participants under 16 years old were selected. Dental age evaluated by Demirjian method discrepancy (AD), value subtracted from chronological age, calculated. divided into 8 groups based on type. Bridging ratio (BR) defined as interclinoid distance length determine degree bridging (STB) classified 4 BR. data statistically analyzed using Kruskal Wallis test Mann Whitney test. Some with abnormality showed lower AD than that normal group differences varied months 1.3 year. As STB severity increased, decreased. 7 1.19 No distinct observed in type according sex. results indicate is associated Sella can be used a supplementary indicator predict development.
