چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Torus Palatinus (TP) in the earthquake effected population of Indonesia. This study was conducted in out door dental clinic at a Pakistan Medical Mission Hospital during earthquake relief activities in June – July 2006 in Kalatan District Chawas Central Java, Indonesia. With clinical inspection and palpation 300 individuals were examined for presence or absence of Torus Palatinus. 26.9% exhibited TP. Age ranged from 20-70. Torus Palatinus was more common in men than women, and it was more common in second and third decade irrespective of sex. The occurrence of TP is related to increasing age and we also support the hypothesis that the etiology of torus palatinus involves interplay of multifactorial genetic and environmental factors.
