title: Imaging Aspects of Palatal Torus in Cone Beam Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance: Case Report.
abstract: Thetorus palatinusis a unilocular or multilocular exostosis that occurs in the midline of the hard palate. It is considered a common clinical finding. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not commonly used in dentistry and descriptions of thetorusby this imaging method are therefore rare in the literature. This case study reports on a female patient referred to the dentist to elucidate a bone enlargement detected by MRI, which was requested by the physician who accompanied the patient for migraine treatment. Additional routine dental imaging exams were performed for the planning of different treatments. Here is a description of thetorus palatinusalong with MRI in order to provide a complete representation of the clinical finding.
