Bony prominence in the mouth, often referred to as torus or tori (plural), can be caused by several factors, including genetic predisposition, mechanical stress from chewing, and certain habits like grinding teeth. These bony growths typically occur on the hard palate or the mandible and are generally benign. In some cases, they may develop due to chronic irritation or inflammation. While they usually don't require treatment, larger tori may need to be surgically removed if they cause discomfort or interfere with oral function.
