Torus Mandibularis
Tori are essentially extra bone deposits that have formed in your upper or lower jawbones. When the extra bone is found in your hard palate, it is called your torus palatinus. If the tori are found on your lower jaw, they are considered to be mandibular tori (as the lower jaw is known as the mandible). The good news is that most tori are actually benign (not cancerous) in nature, and don’t need any treatment. .

Re: Torus Mandibularis
I have a small Torus Palantinus but my oral surgeon desided to not remove it. It does not bother me in any way.

Re: Torus Mandibularis
I had a large torus mandibularus, completely unknown to me until I had to get bottom dentures. My dentist didn't even knock me out. Just lidocaine. Horrible procedure!

Re: Torus Mandibularis
I have a large torus mandibularus as well. Mine is ambidextrous, can do tricks, and knows how to open a door. I call him "Scampy!" because he is such a cute little scamp. |
