symptoms may occur in the oral cavity and cause problems when the patient is fitted with dentures. In such cases, the tubercles shoud be removed by surgery [1]. Buccal exostoses are multiple bony nodules that occur less frequently than tori. A statistical study on the incidence of tori has been published, but cases of the treatment and prognosis of patients with a con­ currence of tori and mult...

Experiments conducted in high-performance 1.0-1.2 MA 6 MW NBI-heated H-mode plasmas with a high flux expansion radiative divertor in NSTX demonstrate that significant divertor peak heat flux reduction and access to detachment may be facilitated naturally in a highly-shaped spherical torus (ST) configuration. Improved plasma performance with high βp = 15− 25 %, a high bootstrap current fraction ...

The oral exostoses are protuberance located on the alveolar surfaces of the jawbones with nodular, flat or pedunculated shape. The purpose of this study was to highlight the variability of the morphological and clinical characteristics of torus palatinus (TP) and torus mandibularis (TM) in a sample of young and adults' Romanian people. The study was conducted on 74 participants examined in Dent...

BACKGROUND The interactions between torus and several factors such as age, gender, and dental status have not been studied comprehensively. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of gender on the mandibular cortical index (MCI) and to investigate a possible association between torus mandibularis (TM) and MCI. METHODS The study consisted of 189 consecutive patients referred to D...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the multifactorial etiology of mandibular tori analyzing the influence of genetics, occlusal overload, various clinical variables and their interactions. METHODS Overall, plaster casts of 162 twins (81 twin pairs) were analyzed for the presence or absence of mandibular tori. Atypical wear facets on canine tips or incisors were recorded to diag...
