[Torus palatinus merupakan tonjolan tulang pada langit-langit mulut yangbersifat variatif pada manusia. Perbedaan ras diduga merupakan salah satu halyang memengaruhi keberadaan torus palatinus. Studi ini dilakukan untukmengetahui prevalensi dan karakteristik torus palatinus pada suku-suku denganras mongoloid di Indonesia khususnya yang berasal dari pulau Jawa dan luarpulau Jawa, Indonesia pada tahun 2014.Studi ini bersifat deskriptif analitik berdesain potong lintang denganjumlah sampel sebanyak 274 orang yang terdiri dari 152 laki-laki dan 122perempuan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metodeconsecutive sampling melalui pengisian kuesioner dan pemeriksaan toruspalatinus menggunakan kaca mulut.Hasil penelitian didapatkan prevalensi torus palatinus pada 212 sampel(77,4%) dengan karakteristik yang paling dominan adalah yang berukuran kecil(<3mm) sejumlah 107 orang (50,5%) dan tunggal sejumlah 192 orang (90,6%).Torus palatinus lebih dominan pada kelompok suku yang berasal dari pulau Jawadan Sumatera dengan rasio kelompok suku Jawa, Sumatera, dan campuran, yaitu1,2:1,2:1.Karakteristik torus palatinus yang paling dominan pada ketiga kelompoksuku adalah kecil (<3mm) dan tunggal.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak didapatkanperbedaan karakteristik torus palatinus yang bermakna antara suku-suku denganras mongoloid dari pulau Jawa dan luar pulau Jawa, Indonesia;Torus palatinus is a bone exostosis in the hard palate of mouth that isvariative in the human. Race differencies is suspected as one of things thatinfluenced the growth of torus palatinus. The aim of this study was to determinethe prevalence and characteristics of torus palatinus in mongoloid race tribes inIndonesia, especially the tribes that originate from Java island and outside JavaIsland 2014.This descriptive analytic cross-sectional study was using 274 samples,consisted of 152 males and 122 females. Data was collected by using consecutivesampling method through questionaire?s filling and checking torus palatinus withoral mirror tools.The result showed that the prevalence of torus palatinus were found in 212sample (77.4%) with the most dominant characteristics were found in small size(<3mm) in 107 people (50.5%) and single in 192 people (90.6%). Torus palatinusis more dominant in group of Java and Sumatera tribe within ratio between Java,Sumatera, and mix group is 1.2:1.2:1. The dominant characteristics between thisthree group of tribes are small (<3mm) and single.Based on the result of this study, there?s no significant difference ofcharacteristics of torus palatinus between mongoloid race tribes from Java Islandand outside Java Island., Torus palatinus is a bone exostosis in the hard palate of mouth that isvariative in the human.
