Abstract

Context: Sella turcica is structure readily seen on lateral cephalometric radiographs. Morphological correlation between various structures of craniofacial region is important to predict various malocclusions. Aims: The aim of the study was to analyze morphology and dimensions of sella turcica with different skeletal patterns among Maharashtrian population. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 90 patients (42 males and 48 females) aged 12–40 years who reported for treatments of malocclusions were studied. 90 patients divided into three groups such as Class I, Class II, and Class III skeletal malocclusion based on ANB angle. Each group consists of 30 patients.  Statistical Analysis Used: Lateral cephalograms of 90 patients (42 males and 48 females) aged 1240 years who reported for treatments of malocclusions were studied. 90 patients divided into three groups such as Class I, Class II, and Class III skeletal malocclusion based on ANB angle. Each group consists of 30 patients. Results: Statistically significant difference was observed among overall groups comparison in relation to morphology of sella turcica. However, no correlation was found with different ages, gender, length of sella turcica, and depth of sella turcica. Conclusions: The study showed that most common morphology of sella turcica was oblique anterior wall among all the skeletal malocclusions. Morphological correlation of sella turcica was found with different skeletal malocclusion.
