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.

Tori are bony growths that can occur in the mouth, often on the lower jaw (mandibular tori) or the roof of the mouth (palatine tori). They are believed to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and environmental influences, such as teeth grinding or jaw clenching. While they are typically harmless and don’t require treatment, they can sometimes cause discomfort or interfere with dental work. Their exact purpose is not fully understood, but they may represent a response to stress on the jaw bones.
