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.

Why do people have tori in the mouth?

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.
