Background. This retrospective observational study attempted to examine the prevalence of abnormal blood aluminum levels in dialysis patients, and to explore the association of pathogenic factors, such as demographic, clinical, laboratory as well as the use of phosphate binding drugs, drugs for secondary hyperparathyroidism and erythropoiesis-stimulating drugs with the blood aluminum levels. Methods. The study included 1175 patients (874 hemodialysis and 301 peritoneal dialysis), recruited from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in November 2020. Patients were stratified into two groups by their blood aluminum levels, as normal (<2 µg/dL, n = 1150) or abnormal (≥2 µg/dL, n = 25). Results. The patients aged 60.4 ± 13.2 years and were dialyzed for 8.6 ± 8.1 years. The average blood aluminum level was 1.0 ± 0.4 µg/dL. Patients with abnormal blood aluminum levels received more sevelamer than patients with normal blood aluminum level (p = 0.014). Patients with abnormal blood aluminum levels had higher platelet count (p = 0.001), triglyceride (p < 0.001) and total iron binding capacity (p = 0.003) than patients with normal blood aluminum levels. Moreover, the cardiothoracic ratio was higher in patients with abnormal blood aluminum levels than patients with normal blood aluminum levels (p = 0.003). Conclusions. The prevalence of abnormal blood aluminum levels was low at 2.2%. Nevertheless, the linking of cardiothoracic ratio of more than 0.5 as well as elevated blood platelet count and triglyceride level with blood aluminum levels are interesting, and warranted more researches in this area.

Benign bony exostosis can be present in the maxilla or mandible. They are non-odontogenic sclerotic lesions which present as bony outgrowths on the jaws. On the lingual aspect of the mandible, these benign bony exostoses resemble peripheral osteomas and when present adjacent to bicuspids they are known as torus mandibularis (TM). Usually these TM are small, bilateral and asymptomatic. This article presents an atypical case of large nodule of unilateral TM associated with discomfort in a 46-year-old male patient with partially edentulous jaws. The bony outgrowth was surgically removed and follow up period of 6 months was uneventful. Review of the literature was undertaken for various etiological factors, clinical features and management of torus mandibularis.

Tori are bony growths in the mouth caused by genetic and environmental factors. Oral tori may grow over time and interfere with oral hygiene, speech, mastication, and the application of dentures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of torus mandibularis and torus palatinus according to age and gender among people in Albania. A single-center pilot study was conducted at Diamond Dental Hospital (DDH) from 1 February to 30 April 2024 in Tirana, Albania. Written consent was obtained from each participant. The patients were interviewed by one trained researcher and examined intraorally by one experienced examiner. Photographs were taken of any positive findings. The prevalence of oral tori in this sample from Albania was very high at 48%, and the peak incidence was in the 18–29 age group (54%). The most common type was torus mandibularis, with a prevalence of 39%. The most prevalent form of torus palatinus was flat (71%) and of torus mandibularis was solitary bilateral (48%). This single-center pilot study found a high prevalence of oral tori among people in Tirana, Albania. Its prevalence was not related to gender or bruxism. Dental professionals should note the high occurrence of oral tori and their importance in dental practice.
