To examine the prevalence of torus mandibularis (TM) and identify clinical factors associated with its presence.
A total of 664 Japanese adults over age 60 were studied by means of a questionnaire and clinical examination.
In all, 197 subjects (29.7%) had TM. We found a significant association between the presence of TM and torus palatinus (TP; 45.1% vs. 26.5%, p<0.001). Moreover, occlusal force with TM was significantly higher than without TM (p<0.05). Logistic regression adjusted for age and occlusal force revealed a significant relationship between TM and occlusal force and TP [p=0.005, odds ratio (OR)=2.44; p<0.001, OR=2.66, respectively].
This study suggests that there is a relationship between TM and factors related to occlusal factor.
研究下颌隆突(TM)的患病率,并确定与其存在相关的临床因素。
通过问卷调查和临床检查对664名60岁以上的日本成年人进行了研究。
共有197名受试者(29.7%)有TM。我们发现TM的存在与腭隆突(TP)之间存在显著关联(45.1%对26.5%,p<0.001)。此外,有TM者的咬合力明显高于无TM者(p<0.05)。经年龄和咬合力调整的逻辑回归显示,TM与咬合力和TP之间存在显著关系[p=0.005,优势比(OR)=2.44;p<0.001,OR分别为2.66]。
本研究表明TM与咬合因素相关因素之间存在关联。
