What is torus mandibularis?

Bony growth: It is a bony growth on the inside of the lower jaw. It is harmless and does not need to be treated unless you are having a removable denture made.

Dense bone: A mandibular torus is a benign dense growth of bone in the lower jaw. It can appear as a solitary nodule on one side of the jaw or on bilaterally. They can also be present as multiple nodules. They are usually slow growing and may require removal if they interfere with a removable appliance, cause speech problems or cause hygiene problems

Extra jaw bone: It is extra dense jaw bone that can occur spontaneously. Usually found in patients who clench their teeth or have sleep apnea. There is no reason to remove the torus unless it is causing pain or preventing a denture from seating fully.
