You can either have tori on your mandible, or on your palate. They are bone extentions that 40% of people have, and they are usually born with them.

AnswerSome dental professionals might not think the following answer is correct:

The torus is typically caused by chronic clenching of the teeth.

i think most dentists prefer this answer, to then offer to fix the clenching problem for a huge fee! is the first answer correct..one is usually born with them?

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.


How do you treat torus mandibularis?

I don't think there is way to treat it or to fix it other than surgery, i know that it is not dangerous, just that it can become a very big nuisance, sometimes the skin that is covering the bump can become sensitive and painful. The condition can cause speech issues if they become too large. Other than being a complete pain in the butt, i don't think there is much that u can do about them, THIS IS NOT A FORM OF ORAL CANCER.
