Morphometric assessment of the sella turcica in different morphologic types of Class II malocclusion: a retrospective study

Objectives: Sella turcica is a substantial anatomic reference structure used to assess craniofacial growth and treatment changes in orthodontics. The aim of this retrospective study was analyze the size morphology sella different subdivisions Class II malocclusion compare it I development. Materials Methods: conducted with 150 patient’s pre-treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs. Good-quality radiographs prominent appearance were grouped into division 1, 2 (control group). On cephalograms, length, diameter depth gauged morphological types detected. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis analysis Dunn-Bonferroni test Chi-square (p <0.05). Results: A significant difference found length div group <0.05) compared other groups. differences among three groups non-significant > 0.05). normal shaped most subjects (60.6%). Conclusion: No skeletal terms turcica. smaller patients anomaly.
