Abstract

ObjectiveTo examine the prevalence of torus mandibularis (TM) and identify clinical factors associated with its presence.Materials and methodsA total of 664 Japanese adults over age 60 were studied by means of a questionnaire and clinical examination.ResultsIn all, 197 subjects (29.7%) had TM. We found a significant association between the presence of TM and torus palatinus (TP; 45.1% vs. 26.5%, p < 0.001). Moreover, occlusal force with TM was significantly higher than without TM (p < 0.05). Logistic regression adjusted for age and occlusal force revealed a significant relationship between TM and occlusal force and TP [p = 0.005, odds ratio (OR) = 2.44; p < 0.001, OR = 2.66, respectively].ConclusionThis study suggests that there is a relationship between TM and factors related to occlusal factor.
