Torus palatine: features, causes of appearance and treatment methods

The torus palatine, also known as the torus palatinus, is a raised area or bulge on the upper surface of the roof of the mouth located directly midway between the two dental arches. This phenomenon is common in humans and can vary in size and shape. In this article we will look at the features of the torus palatine, the reasons for its appearance and treatment methods.

The reasons for the appearance of the torus palatine can be different. Some studies suggest that this may be due to heredity, as well as developmental abnormalities of the maxillofacial region. In addition, the presence of torus palatine may be related to the age and gender of the patient. Thus, in women this phenomenon occurs 2 times more often than in men.

Torus palatine usually causes no symptoms and does not require treatment. However, in some cases, it can cause discomfort while eating or speaking. In addition, if you have a torus palatine, it may be difficult to access your back teeth for cleaning, which can increase your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease.

If the torus palatine causes discomfort or threatens the patient's health, it may need to be removed. However, this procedure is quite complex and can only be performed by an experienced specialist.

There are several methods for removing the torus palatine. One of them is surgical removal using a laser. This method is considered the most effective and safe. However, before carrying out it, it is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnosis and assess all possible risks and complications.

There are also methods of conservative treatment, which consist of wearing an individually selected dental splint or orthodontic structure. However, these methods are only effective in cases where the torus palatine is not too high and does not cause serious problems.

Torus palatine is a common phenomenon that in most cases does not require treatment. However, in some cases, if there is discomfort or a threat to the patient's health, it may need to be removed. When choosing a treatment method, it is necessary to take into account all possible risks and complications and carry it out only under the supervision of an experienced specialist.

**Torus celestial or firmament** is a combination of “sky” and “slope”. Essentially, the torus is a vast inclined field of the spatial sky. The sky appears covered by the horizon due to its visual impact on the human eye. Only when the observer moves away from the object can one reliably say that the land is flat, and the celestial distance is infinitely spacious.

The horizon is determined by factors such as the curvature of the Earth, topography of the area, lighting, and the observer's point of view. The exact geographical position of the horizon can be calculated using goniometric instruments and
