Variation in torus palatinus prevalence in Norway
The variation in lorus palatinus (TP) prevalence was investigated among a total of 2010 denial patients over 10 yr of age native to two different regions in Norway, the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway and the Gudbrandsdalen valley, an inland area in the southeastern part of the country. The two g...
