| Popis | AIMS: To retrospectively evaluate the presence of complete sella turcica bridging in subjects with palatal canine impaction and those with normal canine eruption. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: One hundred and twenty subjects with palatal canine impaction (mean age 18.8 years) and a control group of 120 subjects with a complete permanent dentition and skeletal Class I (mean age 18.1 years). The position of the permanent canines was evaluated with standard quality lateral cephalograms, dental panoramic radiographs and intraoral radiographs. The presence of complete sella turcica bridging between the anterior and posterior clinoidal processes of the sphenoid bone was evaluated using lateral cephalograms. Association of the presence of a sella bridge between the control and retention group was analyzed using chi-square tests. RESULTS: The frequency of complete sella turcica bridging was significantly higher (P < 0.05, P = 0. 023) in the retention group (22 bridges, 18.3%) than in the control group (10 bridges, 8.3%). CONCLUSION: The presence of complete sella turcica bridging during the development and eruption of permanent canines should be the predictive factor of future palatal impaction. |
