The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of torus palatinus (TP) and torus mandibularis (TM) in Malaysian dental patients.
Thousand five hundred and thirty-two dental patients were examined for the presence of oral tori at the Faculty of Dentistry outpatient clinic, AIMST University. Factors such as race, age, sex, size, and shape of tori were studied.
The prevalence rates were 12% for TP and 2.8% for TM. A variation in the presence of tori among the three races in Malaysia-Chinese, Malays, and Indians-was noted, where the Chinese significantly had a higher prevalence of TP (17.9%) and TM (4.6%). Predominantly, tori were observed >40 years and older age group, and further both TP and TM were seen more commonly in women. Most TP were of smooth type (52.2%) and >2 cm (67.4%), while all TM were bilateral and nodular, plus most were <2 cm (67.4%).
Presence of tori (TP and TM) was detected in 12.5% of the participants. The variations noted in the prevalence and clinical characteristics of tori among people of different races living in the same country reflect its multifactorial etiology. Both genetic and environmental factors are responsible for its occurrence, and particular races are more prone genetically where its expression is enhanced by environmental factors.
本研究的目的是确定马来西亚牙科患者中腭隆突（TP）和下颌隆突（TM）的患病率及临床特征。
在马来西亚赛城大学牙科学院门诊对1532名牙科患者进行口腔隆突检查。研究了种族、年龄、性别、隆突大小和形状等因素。
TP的患病率为12%，TM的患病率为2.8%。注意到马来西亚的三个种族——华人、马来人和印度人——隆突的出现情况存在差异，其中华人的TP（17.9%）和TM（4.6%）患病率显著更高。主要在40岁及以上年龄组观察到隆突，而且TP和TM在女性中更为常见。大多数TP为平滑型（52.2%）且大于2 cm（67.4%），而所有TM均为双侧结节状，并且大多数小于2 cm（67.4%）。
12.5%的参与者中检测到隆突（TP和TM）。在同一个国家生活的不同种族人群中，隆突患病率和临床特征的差异反映了其多因素病因。遗传和环境因素均导致其发生，特定种族在遗传上更易患病，环境因素会增强其表现。
