Abstract

Since the presence of torus poses a problem in successful construction of dentures, a study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Torus Palatinus and Torus Mandibularis in 1000 patients, which was 9.5% and 1.4% respectively. The prevalence of Torus palatinus was more common in female than males. Majority of the tori were found in the age group of 11 to 30 yrs and were rarely seen before 10 yrs of age. The most common region was the middle of the palate as well as mandible. It is emphasized that presence of torus should be carefully evaluated and construction of denture be modified accordingly.
