Objectives.
To investigate the association between unilateral/bilateral maxillary canine impaction and sella-turcica bridging using CBCT imaging.
Methods.
This retrospective comparative study analyzed 76 CBCT images of the craniofacial complex including sella-turcica.
The impacted cuspid group consisted of thirty-eight subjects (7 males, 31 females; mean age, 14.6 ± 3.2 years) diagnosed with unilateral (left n=14, right n=11) or bilateral (n=13) palatal canine impaction.
The control group included thirty-eight subjects matched by sex (7 males, 31 females; mean age, 19.5 ± 3.6 years) with no impaction.
Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between unilateral/bilateral canine impaction and right and left sella-turcica bridging.
Results.
The prevalence of sella-turcica bridging was 59.3% and 50% in the impacted canine and control groups, respectively.
Although the odds for unilateral canine impaction were increased in the right and left sella-turcica bridging groups compared to the controls, the difference was not statistically significant.
The risk of bilateral impaction was different between the two sides of sella-turcica bridging, but, again, the findings were not statistically significant.
Conclusion.
Contrary to previous 2D studies, there is no statistically significant association between unilateral/bilateral palatal canine impaction and sella-turcica bridging when using 3D CBCT.
