Concurrence of torus mandibularis and torus palatinus

Scand J Dent Res. 1994 Feb;102(1):60-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0722.1994.tb01154.x.

Abstract

Analysis of the concurrence of torus mandibularis and torus palatinus among a total of 2010 dental patients, by the test of independence, revealed that the concurrence was statistically significant among women, but not among men. A tentative hypothesis was proposed to explain the sexual dimorphism of the variable, combined occurrence of the two features.
