ABSTRACT
The ponticulus posticus (PP) is a bridge of bone sometimes found on the atlas vertebra surrounding the vertebral artery and the first cervical nerve root. Sella turcica bridging (STB) is the fusion of anterior and posterior clinoid processes. The objective of this study was to find out the association between STB and PP. For the study, 752 digital lateral cephalograms were retrieved from the archived records of Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Dentistry, Konya, Turkey. There was a significant relationship between the presence of STB and PP (p=0.000, p<0.001). This study indicates that there is a significant correlation between the presence of STB and PP.
RESUMEN
El Ponticulus Posticus (PP) es un puente de hueso que se encuentra, a veces, en el atlas y rodea la arteria vertebral y la primera raíz del nervio cervical. El puente de la silla turca (PST) es la fusión de los procesos clinoides anteriores y posteriores. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la asociación entre PST y PP. Para el estudio, fueron utilizados 752 cefalogramas digitales laterales, obtenidos de los registros archivados de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Necmettin Erbakan, Konya, Turquía. Hubo una relación significativa entre la presencia de PST y PP (p = 0,000, p <0,001). Este estudio indica que existe una correlación significativa entre la presencia de PST y PP.
