Examination of the Relationship Between Sella Turcica and Impacted Maxillary Canine Teeth: A Retrospective Study

Abstract

Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to compare the morphological shape and linear dimensions of the sella turcica (ST) between individuals with and without impacted maxillary canines (IMC). Materials and Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 120 individuals with IMC were obtained, retrospectively. A control group of 40 individuals without IMC were included in the study from the same archive. The study group was divided into three subgroups: group I (n=40), right IMC; group II (n=44), left IMC; and group III (n=36), bilateral IMC. The shape and the linear dimensions of the ST were evaluated in all groups. Data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test and the chi-square test. The significance level was assigned as p<0.05. Results: The linear dimensions ‒length, depth, and diameter‒ of the ST in the control group were significantly different from those in group I (p=0.050, p=0.001, and p=0.018, respectively), group II (p=0.040, p=0.048, and p=0.006, respectively), and group III (p=0.014, p=0.039, and p=0.007, respectively). In addition, there were no statistically significant associations among ST types in the control and study groups. Conclusions: The length, depth, and diameter of the ST were greater in the control group than in the individuals with unilateral or bilateral IMC. Also, no relationship was found between the morphological shapes of the ST in individuals with and without IMC.

Gömülü Maksiller Kanin Dişleri ile Sella Tursika Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi: Retrospektif Bir Çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, gömülü maksiller kanin dişleri (GMKD) gömülü olan ve olmayan bireyler arasında sella tursikanın (ST) morfolojik şeklini ve doğrusal boyutlarını karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: GMKD olan 120 bireyin konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri retrospektif olarak elde edildi. Aynı arşivden GMKD olmayan 40 bireylik bir kontrol grubu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Çalışma grubu üç alt gruba ayrıldı: grup I (n=40), sağ GMKD olan bireyler; grup II (n=44), sol GMKD olan bireyler; ve grup III (n=36), iki taraflı GMKD olan bireyler. ST'nin şekli ve doğrusal boyutları tüm gruplarda değerlendirildi. Veriler bağımsız örneklem t testi ve ki-kare testi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak belirlendi. Bulgular: Kontrol grubundaki ST'nin doğrusal boyutları ‒uzunluk, derinlik ve çap‒ grup I (sırasıyla p=0,050, p=0,001 ve p=0,018), grup II (sırasıyla p=0,040, p=0,048 ve p=0,006) ve grup III'tekilerden (sırasıyla p=0,014, p=0,039 ve p=0,007) önemli ölçüde farklıydı. Ayrıca kontrol ve çalışma gruplarında ST tipleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Sonuçlar: ST'nin uzunluğu, derinliği ve çapı, kontrol grubunda tek taraflı veya iki taraflı GMKD olan bireylere göre daha büyüktü. Ayrıca GMKD olan ve olmayan bireylerde ST'nin morfolojik şekilleri arasında bir ilişki bulunamamıştır.
