# Spontaneous Exposure of Mandibular Torus: A Case Report and Surgical Management

## TL;DR

A rare case of a mandibular torus spontaneously exposing and causing pain was successfully treated with surgery and tooth extraction.

## Contribution

This paper presents a novel case report of spontaneous mandibular torus exposure and its surgical management.

## Key findings

- Surgical removal of the exposed torus resolved the patient's symptoms.
- The patient showed no complications or recurrence after one year.
- Histological analysis is emphasized for such cases.

## 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.
