| Abstrakt: | Tori are reactive or developmental localized overgrowths of alveolar bone that are not cancerous. A thin, weakly vascularized mucosa surrounds a densely cortical, low-density mass of bone marrow known as tori or exostosis. Tori are more frequently observed in middle age. Both the maxilla (torus palatinus) and the mandible (torus mandibularis) exhibit tori. Difficulty in speaking and other issues are common obstacles associated with tori. Tori range in diameter from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Surgical excision of tori is the mainstay of treatment for large tori obstructing speech, mastication, or tongue position. The following case study includes a 36-year-old male patient with an association of mandibular canine and premolar regions with bony outgrowth.
