A study of torus palatinus and torus mandibularis in Pre-Columbian Peruvians.
An incidence of tori lower than previously reported was found in a population from Pre-Columbian Peru. It is suggested that the prevalence of tori along with other genetic markers with racial variation may be used to help identify and define a population group.
