Oral exostoses; a rare case report and literature review
Hellenic Archives of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery(2022)
Abstract
Oral Buccal Exostoses are benign bony protuberances that arise from the cortical bone. They are named after their location such as torus palatinus if it arises in the palate and torus mandibularis, if it arises from the mandible. The etiopathogenesis is still unclear with various authors citing racial, genetic, teeth attrition, parafunctional habits and even nutritional factors. Though asymptomatic, surgical intervention becomes mandatory when esthetics are of concern or during denture fabrication in terms of edentulous alveolar ridge.
