SURGICAL REPAIR OF BILATERAL MULTIPLE MANDIBULAR TORI: A CASE REPORT.

Dr Mahender Singh, Dr Shweta Verma, Dr Munish Goel

Abstract


The present case report highlights the successful surgical management of bilateral multiple mandibular tori in a 47-year-old female patient having difficulty in mastication and speech owing to these bony growths. The patient’s desire to get an implant supported prosthesis in lower jaw warranted the removal of these tori. The patient had considerable relief after the removal of tori. No recurrence was noted at one-year follow-up period. The lasers could prove viable option for atraumatic removal of the bony exostosis, causing minimum post-operative discomfort.
