“…[1] It is an intra-oral osseous protruberance of varying size arising along the midline suture of the hard palate. [2] Jainkittivong and Langlais [3] characterised these developmental anomalies as sessile nodular bony masses comprising hyperplastic mature and trabecular bone. The torus can arise from the inner or outer surface of the maxillary bone, and is generally named according to location.…”

“…[1,5] The term was coined by Kupffer and Bessel-Hagen in 1879, many years after its first observation. [2] The aetiology of torus palatinus has been researched extensively and is thought to arise from an interplay between genetic and environmental factors and masticatory function. The quasi-continuous genetic or threshold model states that the environmental factors responsible must first reach a threshold level before genetic factors can express themselves in the individual.…”

“…There is a prevalence in middle-aged females, with racial and ethnic group differences. [2,3] The other most common intra-oral exostosis − torus mandibularis − is a bony outgrowth on the lingual surface of the mandible, most frequently in the premolar or canine area. The concurrence of the different forms of tori shows a low prevalence.…”

“…The concurrence of the different forms of tori shows a low prevalence. [2,3] Tori are usually asymptomatic except when complicated by trauma or ulceration. They may also interfere with speech, mastication or fabrication of maxillary dentures.…”

A 54-year-old woman presented with a firm, painful swelling of the hard palate of 4 years' duration. A clinical diagnosis of maxillary torus without ulceration was made. Computed tomography (CT) was performed for confirmation of torus palatinus and to aid surgical planning. The CT scan demonstrated lobulated bony outgrowths arising from the inferior margin of the hard palate, consistent with torus palatinus. (Fig. 1).

Background and objective:This study aimed to determine the prevalence, size, shape and location of tori in partially and completely edentulous patients attending the College of Dentistry/ Hawler Medical University from 2009-2011. Methods: In a retrospective study four hundred and fifty patients case file from Erbil city were examined for the presence of oral tori in prosthodontic department, College of Dentistry, Hawler Medical University. The size, shape and location of tori were recorded and related with the age and sex of patients. Results: The overall prevalence of tori was 14.2% (64 cases). The prevalence of torus palatinus was 60.9% (39/64), while that of torus mandibularis was significantly lesser 23.5 % (15/64).Both types of tori were associated with each other in 15.62% of cases (10/64). Conclusion:There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of tori between males and females. There was a significant relationship between the presence of mandibular and palatal tori.

Objective This study evaluates the correlations amongst mandibular torus, palatine torus, oral exostoses to dental wear/loss and temporomandibular damage. Methods The sample consists of 504 skulls from the Hamann‐Todd Osteological Collection; 223 African American and 281 European Americans aged between 30 and 80 years. The sample was analyzed using Pearson's Chi‐square for significance of sex, age, ancestry, and wear as well as the interactions between the demographic variables and the presence of mandibular torus, palatine torus and oral exostoses. Results Wear was statistically significant by age and sex but not ancestry. The maxillary exostoses varied significantly by age, ancestry and wear but not sex. Mandibular torus frequencies varied significantly by wear, sex and ancestry. The palatine torus varied significantly across wear groups, sex and ancestry. Discussion The etiology of nonmetric oral cavity characteristics, mandibular torus, palatine torus and oral exostosis, is complex. The degree to which traits' presence and expression is the result of genetic and environmental interactions is not fully understood. More than age, sex or ancestry, the degree of dental wear and tooth loss influences the presence and expression of the oral cavity traits. The sample can be characterized as the presence of exostoses in higher frequencies in young African American males with little tooth loss. Males of both ancestral groups with heavy wear have higher frequencies of mandibular tori than females. The palatine torus is more common in edentulous European American females.
