Mandibular Tori: Causes, Development, and Genetic Influences
Mandibular tori are bony growths on the lingual mandible. Contributing factors:
- Bone Growth/Development: Abnormal deposition during growth.
- Genetics: Familial tendency; genetic variants influence bone formation.
- Hormones: Androgens (testosterone) may stimulate growth.
- Local Factors: Trauma, chronic denture pressure → reactive bone growth.
Usually asymptomatic; surgical removal only if interfering with speech, chewing, or oral function.
