📝Abstract

Maxillary canine impaction is a dental anomaly found in 1% to 2% of clinical situations. Palatally displaced maxillary canine causes numerous clinical problems such as midline shift, root resorption and malocclusion. The Anterior contour of Sella is useful in predicting patient growth and in assessing craniofacial morphology. Studies have linked the Sella Turcica bridging to multiple hereditary development syndromes affecting the craniofacial region and various systemic disorders. It has been discovered that many dental anomalies such as tooth transposition, hypodontia, canine impactions and missing second premolars have association with Sella Turcica bridging.

The aim of this study was to determine if an association exists between Sella Turcica bridging and palatally impacted maxillary canines in North Kerala population. The study was conducted on a sample of 30 patients, aged 14-30 years with maxillary palatal canine impactions. The control group had 70 subjects with normally erupted canines, aged 14-30 years. It was found that the percentage of complete calcification was relatively higher in patients with Palatally impacted maxillary canine.
