| Abstract:
|
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of Torus palatinus and Torus mandibularis. Torus palatinus and torus mandibularis are two of the most common intraoral exostoses. Records of completely edentulous patients were collected from 86000 patients visiting Saveetha Dental College during the time period of June 2019 to March 2020. Among that, patients with maxillary and mandibular tori were collected. Our subjects consisted of 422 patients that included patients from Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that removal of exostosis is not common among individuals without much awareness of the diagnosis. Further Studies are needed to compare the prevalence of tori among the Indian sub-continent.
