| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this retrospective study was to find whether there is a correlation between the linear dimensions of the sella turcica and different anteroposterior skeletal growth patterns in an Egyptian population using CBCT. CBCT radiographs of 129 adult patients (60 males, 69 females) were retrieved from the archive of the radiology department of the Faculty of Dentistry, Suez Canal University. They were divided into three groups according to sagittal growth pattern and the sella turcica length, depth and diameter were measured for each case. No statistically significant differences were found between all sella turcica measurements and the anteroposterior jaw relationship. The p-values were 0.087, 0.007 and 0.998 for the diameter, depth and length respectively. | ||
