Background: Oral exostoses, including mandibular tori, are benign bony outgrowths that can lead to functional impairments when large. Spontaneous exposure of a mandibular torus is a rare event that requires surgical intervention. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male presented with bilateral mandibular tori. The right mandibular torus had spontaneously exposed, causing pain during mastication, swallowing, and phonation. Surgical removal of the exposed torus and extraction of a carious tooth were performed under local anaesthesia. Conclusion: The patient recovered without complications, and no recurrence of symptoms was noted during the 1-year follow-up. This case highlights the need for prompt surgical intervention in cases of spontaneous torus exposure and the importance of histological analysis.

Abstract

Background: Oral exostoses, including mandibular tori, are benign bony outgrowths that can lead to functional impairments when large. Spontaneous exposure of a mandibular torus is a rare event that requires surgical intervention. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male presented with bilateral mandibular tori. The right mandibular torus had spontaneously exposed, causing pain during mastication, swallowing, and phonation. Surgical removal of the exposed torus and extraction of a carious tooth were performed under local anaesthesia. Conclusion: The patient recovered without complications, and no recurrence of symptoms was noted during the 1-year follow-up. This case highlights the need for prompt surgical intervention in cases of spontaneous torus exposure and the importance of histological analysis.
