Tori in a Malaysian population: Morphological and ethnic variations

Prevalence of maxillary and mandibular exostosis in the Mississippi population: a retrospective study

“…There are similar studies in the literature evaluating the prevalence of oral tori in different populations [5,7,10,12,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. When these studies are examined, it was seen that the frequency of these bone growths differs from population to population.…”

“…When these studies are examined, it was seen that the frequency of these bone growths differs from population to population. Although many studies showed populations such as Jordan [10], Japan [18,19], Turkey [12], Taiwan [20], Morocco [21], Romania [22], Nigeria [23], Malaysia [24], Thailand [5,7], Norway [26], and Ghana [27] are mainly affected by oral tori, the number of studies conducted on the US population are very few. In one of these studies, Austin et al (1965) reported that 19.5% of African Americans in the USA had palatal tori [17,28].…”

Torus Mandibularis in Patients Receiving Hemodialysis

“…A broad range of prevalence rates of torus mandibularis has been reported in the medical literature. As shown in Supplementary Table S1, the prevalence of torus mandibularis in nonuremic patients ranges from 0.9% to 58.3% [21,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. In the uremic population, Chao et al [18] documented a prevalence rate of 6.7% in hemodialysis patients, while Hsu et al [39] concluded a prevalence rate of 5.3% in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis.…”

An atypical presentation of gigantiform torus palatinus: A case report

“…TP has been described as an anatomical variation rather than a pathological condition, which more frequently affects the female gender and young population [ 6 , 7 ]. Its aetiology is still unclear, but is commonly attributed to genetic and environmental factors [ [6] , [7] , [8] ], with the majority of cases having a causal factor resulting from environmental agents (70% of cases) [ 7 ] rather than from some type of genetic mutation on an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern [ 8 ]. However, recent studies have shown that the genetic and epidemiological profile of the population influences the appearance of this clinical condition according to variations in morphology and ethnicity, with a prevalence of 0.0%–66% for TP [ 7 ].…”

“…Various techniques have been used in the conventional surgical treatment of these lesions [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ] since the technique will depend on the extent and location of the lesion, and the epidemiological profile of the patient. There are cases in which pre-surgical planning with the aid of auxiliary tools such as prototyping is necessary, in order to reduce the risks inherent in surgery when the lesion is medium to large, and favor a clinically adequate postoperative period for patients.…”
