What is Understanding Torus Exostosis Types about?
The document discusses different types of bony outgrowths called exostoses including torus palatinus which occurs in the midline of the palate and torus mandibularis which occurs on the lingual surface of the mandible. Exostoses can be developmental or reactive to trauma and their aetiology is unknown though hereditary factors may play a role. They are benign lesions that rarely cause issues but may need removing for dentures or cosmetic reasons.
