Article Synopsis
- The study focused on obstructive sleep apnea and how it relates to the volume and area of the oropharyngeal airway in different skeletal patterns using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
- The analysis was conducted on scans of 147 patients, measuring various airway dimensions and anatomical structures, using statistical methods to compare the results across skeletal classes.
- Results showed that patients in Class II had significantly smaller airway areas and volumes compared to those in Class III, indicating a greater risk of airway obstruction in Class II patients.
Purpose: Sella turcica bridging (STB) refers to a rare anatomical variation formed by the ossification of the ligament between the anterior and posterior clinoid processes. The presence of the STB was significantly correlated with craniofacial skeleton classification and a higher prevalence rate in skeletal Class III. The current study is aimed at investigating the dimensions of sella turcica and the prevalence of STB in different sexes and on the three craniofacial skeletal patterns using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
