Abstract

The Sella turcica is an important landmark in cephalometric that also serves as a diagnostic indicator in dentistry. Variations in its size and morphology are linked to disturbances in craniofacial development and are often associated with orofacial syndromes such as cleft lip and palate, Williams syndrome, and craniofacial dysostosis. Radiographic evaluation of the Sella region allows early recognition of these conditions. Thus, the Sella turcica represents a valuable frontier in dental diagnosis, bridging radiology with syndromic craniofacial assessment.
