The prevalence of torus palatinus, a common exostosis with a debatable pathogenesis, was epidemiologically investigated in a group of 1002 Israeli Jews. This protuberance was observed in 21% of the entire sample, with non-significant differences among different age groups. The smooth type of torus was noted in 72.9%, 68.1% were smaller than 2 cm, and 53.8% were located in the molar area only. The prevalence of torus palatinus in the combined molar-premolar area increased with age, whereas in the molar area it decreased, expressing a significant relation between location and age (p < 0.01). The prevalence of tori larger than 2 cm was much higher in the 21-year and older age groups than in the younger groups. The diverse prevalence of torus palatinus in some of the ethnic groups was also statistically significant (p < 0.05). The aetiology of this common osseous outgrowth is probably multifactorial, including environmental factors acting in a complicated and unclear interplay with genetic factors.
腭隆突是一种常见的外生骨疣，其发病机制存在争议。对1002名以色列犹太人进行了腭隆突患病率的流行病学调查。在整个样本中，21%的人观察到这种隆起，不同年龄组之间无显著差异。72.9%的腭隆突为平滑型，68.1%小于2厘米，53.8%仅位于磨牙区。腭隆突在磨牙-前磨牙联合区域的患病率随年龄增加，而在磨牙区则降低，表明位置与年龄之间存在显著关系（p < 0.01）。21岁及以上年龄组中大于2厘米的腭隆突患病率远高于较年轻组。腭隆突在一些种族群体中的不同患病率也具有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。这种常见骨赘的病因可能是多因素的，包括环境因素与遗传因素以复杂且不明的方式相互作用。
