“…This finding was in contrast with other studies in which this type of TP predominated. [5][6][7]17 We observed more bilateral TM than unilateral TM and symmetrical occurrence predominated. These findings are in accordance with most studies.…”

“…They may also interfere with the construction and function of removable dentures, as well as oral functional movement. 2 The prevalence of tori varies widely in different populations, ranging from 0.4 % to 66.5% for TP [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and 0.5% to 63.4% for TM. 3, 6-7, 9-12, 15-17 Racial differences appear significant, with a high prevalence in Asian and Eskimo populations.…”

The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence, size, shape, and location of torus palatinus (TP) and torus mandibularis (TM), and to investigate their sex-and age-related differences in a Thai population. One thousand two hundred subjects were examined for the presence of both tori at the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University. The prevalence for TP and TM in the subjects was 58.1% and 31.9%, respectively. TP were significantly more common in females than in males (67.3% versus 48.8%; p<0.001). TP were frequently found in small and medium sizes, spindle-shaped and often located at the combined premolar to molar and molar areas. The prevalence of TM was higher in males than in females (34.8% versus 29.0%; p=0.030). TM occurred most commonly in small size, bilateral multiple form, and was often located at the canine to premolar area. There was a significant correlation between the prevalence of both tori and age (p<0.001 for TP and p=0.004 for TM). The prevalence of both tori in this Thai population were comparable to the Mongoloids and other Asian populations. Statistically significant differences in the prevalence and size of tori in regard to sex and age were also found.

“…Cette exostose du maxillaire peut apparaître durant les stades précoces du développement [10] . Sa présence a été signalée sur des foetus [11] , des nouveau-nés [1,12,13] et des enfants [1,10,14] .

“…Cette croissance peut cependant se poursuivre pendant toute la vie de l'individu. Selon les diffé-rentes études, le torus palatin s'exprimerait environ deux fois plus fréquemment chez les femmes que chez les hommes [14,18,19,20] , les types fusiformes et plats étant les plus fréquents [8,11,17] . L'étiologie du torus palatin n'est pas encore clairement définie.…”

RÉSUMÉLe torus palatin est une « tumeur bénigne » constituant une élévation de la ligne médiane du palais. Décrite en 1814, cette particularité anatomique est actuellement classée selon quatre types : torus plat, fusiforme, nodulaire et lobulaire. Cette exostose du maxillaire, rare avant l'âge de dix ans, croît jusqu'à l'âge de 30 ou 40 ans pour atteindre un plateau, généralement suivi par une légère phase de décroissance. L'apparition du torus palatin résulterait de l'action combinée de facteurs génétiques et environnementaux.

Genetic influence on the prevalence of Torus palatinus

Torus palatinus (TP) represents a benign anatomic variation. It has been suggested that genetic factors play a leading role in its occurrence. The purpose of the present study was to determine, by segregation analysis, the inheritance of TP. Data were collected from members of 37 randomly selected Israel Jewish families and analyzed using the segregation analysis. Vertical transmission of TP was found in 19 families suggesting autosomal dominant transmission, which was supported by the results of the segregation analysis test. A significantly higher number of affected offspring (60.3%) was observed compared to the expected figure (50%) for an autosomal dominant trait with full penetrance. This is explained by the high gene frequency of TP and the relatively high proportion of homozygous parents.
