Comparative Evaluation of Sella Turcica Morphology and Dimensions in Skeletal Class III Malocclusion and Cleft Lip and Palate Patients Versus Class I Individuals.

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate differences in sella turcica dimensions and morphology among Class III malocclusion, cleft lip and palate patients, and Class I individuals.
• Comparative analysis of sella turcica morphology and dimensions
• Assessment of skeletal Class III malocclusion and cleft lip and palate patients versus Class I individuals
• Measurement of size and shape of sella turcica from imaging
• Statistical analysis to determine significance of differences
• Class III malocclusion and CLP patients exhibited smaller sella turcica dimensions than Class I individuals
• Irregular shapes of sella turcica were more common in Class III and CLP groups
• Findings suggest potential for early diagnosis and treatment planning based on sella turcica characteristics
