Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between sella turcica morphology and delayed dental age. In total, 389 participants under 16 years old were selected. Dental age was evaluated by the Demirjian method and age discrepancy (AD), the value subtracted from dental age to chronological age, was calculated. The participants were divided into 8 groups based on the sella turcica type. Bridging ratio (BR) was defined as interclinoid distance divided by sella turcica length to determine the degree of sella turcica bridging (STB) and the participants were classified into 4 groups by BR. The data were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test and the Mann Whitney test. Some groups with sella turcica abnormality showed lower AD than that of the normal group and the AD differences varied from 4 months to 1.3 year. As the STB severity increased, AD decreased. AD differences varied from 7 months to 1.19 year. No distinct differences were observed in sella turcica type and STB groups according to sex. The results indicate that sella turcica morphology is associated with delayed dental age. Sella turcica can be used as a supplementary indicator to predict dental development.

이 연구는 안장의 형태와 지연된 치령의 연관성을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 16세 미만 389명의 치령을 Demirjian 방법으로 평가하였고, 치령에서 연대 연령을 뺀 Age discrepancy (AD)를 계산하였다. 측방두부계측 방사선 사진 상 안장 형태에 따라 8가지로 분류하고 Sella turcica bridging (STB) 정도를 수치화하기 위해 Interclinoid distance를 안장의 길이로 나눈 Bridging ratio를 기준으로 4가지로 분류하였다. Kruskal Wallis 검정과 Mann Whitney 검정을 이용하여 8군과 4군에서 각각 AD의 유의성을 확인하였다. 일부 안장 형태 이상 군에서 정상보다 낮은 AD를 보였고 정상 안장 형태군과의 AD의 차이는 4 - 5개월에서 1년 3개월로 다양했다. STB 정도가 심해질수록, AD는 감소하였다. 정상 STB군과 경미한 STB군의 AD 차이는 7개월이고, 중등도 이상의 STB군에서는 1세 이상 치령이 지연되었다. 성별에 따른 안장 형태와 STB 정도는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이 연구를 통해 일부 안장 형태 이상과 STB가 지연된 치령과 연관성이 있음을 확인하였다. 안장의 형태는 지연된 치령을 예측하는 보조적 수단으로 사용될 수 있다.
