Mandibular tori are benign bony growths that typically develop on the inside of the mandible (lower jaw). Their exact cause is not fully understood, but they are believed to be influenced by genetic factors, mechanical stress or trauma to the jaw, and possibly occlusal forces from teeth. These growths are more common in certain populations and can vary in size and number among individuals. While generally asymptomatic, they may require removal if they cause discomfort or interfere with oral function.
