Tori are bony protrusions on the floor of the mouth below the tongue. They make holding the cardboard x-ray film in place and study molds very uncomfortable . I am told less tha 5% of the population has them. I also have deciduous molars (baby teeth) anchoring my bridges. I am almost 60! These anomalies are quite common on my planet!

What is the dental meaning of Tori?

Tori is the plural of the word Torus. A torus is an outgrowth of bone commonly found in the mouth. A single torus is frequently found on the roof of the mouth at the midline (torus palatinus). Tori can also be found on each side of the lower jaw next to the tongue (torus mandibularis)in some individuals.Tori are usually anomalous (harmless variations). Occasionally, tori need to be removed by a surgeon because they interfere with the proper fit of a denture or other dental appliance.To see examples of large tori, click on the RELATED LINK below.
