consumption is not common as in other parts of
the world having water sources. In parallel with
this suggestion earlier studies suggested eating
tough food may be implicated in the etiology
of tori as this may trigger pressure towards the
median palatine region, thereby, leading to the
thickening of the palatal vault. In these studies
researchers observed the probability of finding
mandibular tori in a person bearing palatal tori
was more than twice as high in a person without
this characteristic.
17 The results of our study
supported this observation as mandibular and
palatal tori were associated with each other in
nearly 28% of all individuals with tori.
The present study suggested most tori in the
palate were flat and most of the mandibular tori
were of the nodular type. This is in agreement
with previous studies.
2,4,17,19 Most individuals in
this study were unaware of the presence of tori
and did not present clinical symptoms. No other
clinical medical conditions or dental anomalies
were observed in the present study in association
with tori. Sasaki
22 reported an association
between palatal and mandibular tori and chronic
phenytoin therapy. Rarely may tori be associated
with exostosis21
, unerupted mandibular canines11
,
sclerosteosis24, or parafunctional activity.4
The presence of either palatal or mandibular tori
can obscure the radiographic details of maxillary
sinuses and lower premolars and interfere with
the construction of removable prostheses. For
example, the lower labial bar is rarely indicated
as a major connector for a removable partial
denture.32 It can be used satisfactorily when
large mandibular tori interfere with conventional
lingual bar placement or when the lower teeth
are severely lingually tipped and placement of a
lingual bar is not possible. In the present study
patients, only with nodular and lobular forms of
tori, were referred for surgical reduction prior
to the construction of complete dentures which
incorporate a combination of soft acrylic flanges
and liners.
29
Torus mandibularis may be not only annoying
to the patient in interfering with removable
prostheses but can also cause obstructive sleep
apnea.
27
Similarly, difficult endotracheal intubation
was reported to be associated with the presence
of torus mandibularis.28
However, the presence of tori might be
advantageous since they may be used as sites
for harvesting bone for ridge augmentation
procedures to replace a missing tooth23 and
the potential use of the mandibular and palatal
tori as sources of autogenous cortical bone in
periodontal surgery.

Torus mandibularis might
be useful as an indicator of increased risk of
