Torus mandibularis is a bony growth in the mandible along the surface nearest to the tongue. Mandibular tori usually are present near the premolars and above the location on the mandible of the mylohyoid muscle attachment. [1] In 90% of cases, a torus is on both inner sides of the mandible (left and right); however, they may differ in size.
An oral torus - also known as: dental torus - is an oral condition in which bony growth occurs in the mouth; there are three locations in which oral tori may appear: the hard palate (torus palatinus), in the lower jaw underneath the tongue (mandibular torus), and/or on the back or upper gums near the cheeks (buccal exostoses). While the growth ...

Periapical COD occurs most commonly in the mandibular anterior teeth while focal COD appears predominantly in the mandibular posterior teeth. Florid COD is an extensive variant of periapical COD where lesions occur in multiple quadrants which can encompass the maxilla and mandible, and infrequently can cause jawbone deformity.
The clinical examination focuses on bony projections and undercuts, large palatal and mandibular tori, and other gross ridge abnormalities. A dentist should always evaluate the interarch relationship in 3 dimensions while doing treatment planning for denture patients.
Cysts of the jaws are cysts—pathological epithelial-lined cavities filled with fluid or soft material—occurring on the bones of the jaws, the mandible and maxilla.Those are the bones with the highest prevalence of cysts in the human body, due to the abundant amount of epithelial remnants that can be left in the bones of the jaws.
Human Tooth Diagram. Cementoma is an odontogenic tumor of cementum.It is usually observed as a benign spherical mass of hard tissue fused to the root of a tooth. [1] It is found most commonly in the mandible in the region of the lower molar teeth, occurring between the ages of 8 and 30 in both sexes with equal frequency . [1]
A torus palatinus (pl.: tori palatini), or palatal torus (pl.: palatal tori), is a bony protrusion on the palate. Palatal tori are usually present on the midline of the hard palate. [ 1 ] Most palatal tori are less than 2 cm in diameter, but their size can change throughout life.
