Abstract

Mandibular Tori are bony growth in the mandible along the surface nearest to the tongue. The location of mandibular tori is most commonly seen in the Premolar region and above the attachment of the mylohyoid muscle’s to the mandible. These are non-neoplastic, developmental and reactive in origin. Here we present a case of incidental detected bilateral mandibular tori in men.

Keywords: Tori; Torus; Exostosis
