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.
