Abstract
Analysis of the concurrence of torus mandibularis and torus palatinus among a total of 2010 dental patients, by the lest of independence, re vealed 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 fea tures.
