| Abstract | ||
| Background: Torus palatinus and torus mandibularis are benign bony growth or exostosis, localized to the roof of the maxilla and the alveolar surface of the mandible with nodular, flat or pedunculated shape.This study aimed to assess the shape,size, site &location of torus palatinus &torus mandibularis in relation to age& gender among Iraqi sample utilizing cone beam computed tomography. Materials &methods: retrospective study performed by examination of 2000 CBCT images searching for tori, from the archives of radiology clinic at College of Dentistry / Baghdad University and other private dental center in Baghdad city. Tori shape (lobular or nodular), size (small, medium or large), site (unilateral, bilateral or middle), and location or surface (buccle, lingual or palatal) were evaluated in both male and female with age ranged between (20- 40 and above)y. Results: Tori were found in 20 patients only, so it regarded to be rare in Iraqi sample, and no statistically significant differences in distribution was found between male and female. Higher percentage of tori was reported in 20-29 age group, with no statistically significant differences appeared between Torus palatinus and Torus mandibularis. No differences in tori shape, and position was found. Conclusion: Torus palatinus and mandibularis had an impact on occlusal stress, occlusal force, parafunctional habits and temporomandibular joint disorders. It’s of great importance to be detected and evaluated before any dental or surgical intervention | ||
