• topic: tooth agenesis; anodontia; sella turcica.

Tooth development occurs synchronously with the development of the turcica sella; a structure responsible for accommodating the pituitary gland. Recent evidence suggests the relationship between sella turcica morphology and dental anomalies as well as, the influence of hormones excreted by the pituitary gland and craniofacial development. This study aimed to perform a systematic review to explore the association between tooth agenesis and the morphological variations of the sella turcica. The studies were included in this systematic review according to the PRISMA recommendations, following PECOS parameters. The search was carried out in the PubMed database using the following descriptors: tooth agenesis, oligodontia, hypodontia, congenital missing tooth, dental agenesis, congenital missing teeth, anodontia, sella turcica. The data from the included studies were compiled and organized according to the study's characteristics. The search retrieved 20 titles and abstracts. Only six articles were eligible for full article evaluation. Five studies evaluated isolated tooth agenesis, while one study evaluated tooth agenesis in non-syndromic oral cleft patients. Two articles were identified through a manual search. Almost all the studies showed that there is a significant association between sella turcica bridging and tooth agenesis. In conclusion, there is an association between tooth agenesis and the morphological variations of the sella turcica.
