Abstract

Objective: to study the morphology of sella turcica in subjects with highly placed canines Materials and Methods: Cephalograms of 30 subjects in Class I malocclusion (Group1) and 30 subjects with highly placed canines (Group 2) were examined for Sella turcica morphology. A template was prepared as per description of Axelsson16 (2004). Results: 53.33% of subjects in Group 2 had normal Sella turcica morphology. The proportion of normal Sella turcica was statistically significant among Group1 as compared to the Group 2. 13.33% of the subjects with highly placed canines had bridging of Sella turcica and another 13.33% showed notching of posterior wall. Conclusion: Bridging of Sella turcica morphology and notching of posterior wall was more in Group 2 than in Group 1.
