Relationship between bridging and dimensions of sella turcica with classification of craniofacial skeleton [PDF]
Purpose: In orthodontics, it is essential to determine the craniofacial skeleton pattern (class I, II, III) for planning treatment. Sella turcica bridging that is seen on lateral cephalometric radiographs is considered as a normal finding.
