RESUMEN
Many dentists have patients in their practice with mandibular exostoses, termed torus mandibularis. The majority of these asymptomatic, benign bony outgrowths remain undisturbed over the patient's lifetime. However, the tori occasionally need to be removed. The differential diagnosis for the tori are discussed as well as the indications and techniques for their removal. Various hypotheses concerning the etiology and epidemiology of torus mandibularis are also reviewed.
