Utilização de placa de silicone após tratamento cirúrgico de torus palatino: relato de caso / Use of Silicon Plaque After Surgery Treatment of Torus Palatino: Case Report

O torus palatino é uma alteração de desenvolvimento, resultante de um crescimento ósseo (exostose) e está localizado na linha média do palato duro. A patogênese ainda não está definida, podendo estar associado à origem genética, a fatores ambientais e/ou as características raciais, apresentando maior prevalência no sexo feminino. Clinicamente, o toro palatino é assintomático e de pequenas dimensões, mas pode aumentar lentamente de tamanho ao longo da vida, causando queixas ao paciente. A remoção cirúrgica está indicada quando há intervenção nas funções de fonação, mastigação, deglutição, trauma recorrente e para correção de deformidades ósseas que impeçam a adaptação de próteses. Este trabalho visa relatar o uso de uma placa de silicone confeccionada a partir da cirurgia de modelo pré-operatória para tratamento cirúrgico de um torus palatino com finalidade protética... (AU)

The palatal torus is a development change, a result of bone growth (exostosis) and is located in the midline of the hard palate. The pathogenesis is not yet defined, may be associated with genetic, environmental factors and / or racial characteristics, with higher prevalence in females. Clinically, palatal torus is small and asymptomatic, but can slowly increase in size throughout life causing patient complaints. Surgical removal is indicated when there is intervention in the function of speech, chewing, swallowing, and repeated trauma to correct bone deformities that prevent denture fitting. This article describes the use of a silicon plate made from the surgery preoperative model for surgical treatment of torus palatal prosthetic purposes... (AU)

Exposición espontánea de un torus palatino de la línea media / Spontaneous exposition of a midline palatal torus

Introducción. El torus , o rodete, palatino es una alteración ósea benigna que puede generar molestias en la fonación y en la deglución. Cuando su crecimiento o exposición persistente producen síntomas molestos, debe ser resecado quirúrgicamente. Presentación del caso. Se trata de una paciente de 82 años de edad, que consultó por una lesión ulcerativa de un año de evolución, que producía dolor, halitosis y molestia a la deglución. En el examen físico de la cavidad oral, se observó una prominencia de consistencia dura en la línea media, con perforación y ulceración de la mucosa palatina en su porción lateral posterior izquierda. Se consideraron los diagnósticos de torus palatino, osteoma, granuloma piógeno y neoplasia de tejidos blandos. Se decidió resecarla quirúrgicamente y hacer el estudio histopatológico. La evolución clínica fue satisfactoria, con resolución completa un mes después de la cirugía. En el estudio de histopatología se observó hiperostosis ósea con inflamación crónica de los tejidos blandos e hiperplasia simple de la mucosa, que corresponden a un torus palatino. Discusión. Se reporta un inusual caso de exposición espontánea de un torus palatino que ocupaba casi toda la bóveda palatina, se describe su resección quirúrgica y se informan los hallazgos de histopatología. En la revisión bibliográfica realizada, no se encontró un reporte previo de exposición espontánea de torus palatino.

Introduction: Palatal torus, or torus palatinus, is a benign bone alteration that may cause some discomfort during phonation or swallowing. When its growth or persistent exposition produces unpleasant symptoms, it must be surgically removed. Case presentation: We treated an 82-year-old female patient who consulted for a painful ulcerous lesion she had had for a year and which produced halitosis and discomfort when swallowing. During the oral cavity physical exam we observed a hard protuberance on the midline. It showed a perforation and ulceration of the lateral posterior palatal mucosa on the left side. We considered the following diagnosis: palatal torus, osteoma, pyogenic granuloma, or a soft-tissue neoplasia. We decided to surgically remove it and to perform a histopathological examination. Clinical evolution was satisfactory with complete resolution one month after surgery. The histopathological examination showed hyperostosis along with chronic inflammation of the soft tissues and a simple hyperplasia of the mucosa, which in turn indicated a palatal torus. Discussion: We report an unusual case of spontaneous exposition of a palatal torus which took up almost all of the hard palate area. Its resection is described and we inform the histopathological findings. In the literature review, we did not find a previous report of a spontaneous exposition of a palatal torus.

Frequency of torus palatinus; a study done in a teaching hospital in Karachi

The objective of the study was to determine the frequency, size and shape of torus palatinus [TP] in a teaching hospital in Karachi. The study further investigated the relationship with age, sex and ethnicity in the study sample. A total of nine hundred and nine [909] subjects were included in the study. The presence or absence of TP was examined by clinical examination and study casts were made for its evaluation. SPSS version 15.0 was used for data analysis. Out of 909 subjects studied, 34[3.7%] had torus palatinus [TP]. The TP was present in 12 [35.3%] males and 22 [64.7%] females. TP was found to be more prevalent in fifth decade of life [23.5%] and was least recorded in the first decade of life [8.8%]. Most of the patients that is 16 [2.4%] showing TP belonged to Urdu speaking community. Out of 34 cases of TP, medium size and spindle shaped tori were more prevalent with a frequency of 15 [44.2%] and 18 [52.9%] respectively
