We aimed to investigate associations between sella turcica dimensions and maxillary growth in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).
Forty-nine patients with non-syndromic UCLP, prior to secondary alveolar bone-grafting, were included. The outcomes measured were sella turcica and maxillary cephalometric measurements, and scores representing dental arch relationships derived from dental casts. On lateral cephalograms, sella width, height, and area were measured, as well as maxillary length, height, protrusion, and inclination. Dental arch relationships were measured using the modified Huddart/Bodenham (MHB) scoring system, and translated GOSLON yardstick score. Multiple linear regression was used to assess associations between sella turcica measurements and either cephalometric parameters or MHB/GOSLON scores, including age and sex as covariables.
No significant associations were found between sella turcica dimensions and dental arch relationships. For cephalometric measurements, sella height and area were associated with basal maxillary length, alveolar maxillary length, and anterior maxillary height.
Sella height and area seem to be predictors for both maxillary length and height as assessed cephalometrically, in a sample of patients with non-syndromic UCLP.
我们旨在研究单侧唇裂腭裂（UCLP）儿童蝶鞍尺寸与上颌生长之间的关系。
共纳入 49 例非综合征性 UCLP 患者，这些患者均在进行二次牙槽骨移植之前。测量的结果包括蝶鞍和上颌颅面测量值，以及来自牙模的代表牙弓关系的评分。在侧位头颅侧位片上，测量蝶鞍的宽度、高度和面积，以及上颌的长度、高度、突出度和倾斜度。使用改良的 Huddart/Bodenham（MHB）评分系统和翻译后的 GOSLON 码来测量牙弓关系。使用多元线性回归评估蝶鞍测量值与头影测量参数或 MHB/GOSLON 评分之间的关系，包括年龄和性别作为协变量。
未发现蝶鞍尺寸与牙弓关系之间存在显著相关性。对于头影测量值，蝶鞍高度和面积与基底下颌长度、牙槽上颌长度和上颌前高度相关。
在非综合征性 UCLP 患者样本中，蝶鞍高度和面积似乎是上颌长度和高度的预测因子，可通过头影测量评估。
