Mandibular bony exostoses or hyperostoses are benign, non-neoplastic, localized bony outgrowths that are broad-based, slow-growing, and surface masses on the buccal or lingual surface of the mandible alveolar bone. Such exostoses grow over several years. Exostoses are more common in the maxilla posterior region along the maxillary tuberosity, called palatal exostoses.

Article Synopsis
- Tori are bony growths in the mouth linked to genetic and environmental factors, which can affect oral hygiene and function.
- A study conducted at Diamond Dental Hospital in Tirana, Albania found a high prevalence of oral tori at 48%, particularly in the 18-29 age group.
- The most common type identified was torus mandibularis (39%), and this research highlights the significance of recognizing oral tori in dental practice, as their prevalence isn't influenced by gender or bruxism.
