Bilateral Mandibular Torus and an Ankylosed Third Molar: A Case Report

Çevresel faktörler, genetik miras, artmış ısırma kuvveti ve beslenme, intraoral ekzositoz oluşumuna neden olan faktörlerden bazılarıdır. Torus mandibularis oral bölgede, mandibulanın lingual yüzeyinde mylohyoid kas çizgisinin üstünde, unilateral ya da bilateral olarak ortaya çıkan ekzositoz tiplerinden biridir. Torusların tanısı için genellikle biyopsiye gerek yoktur. Semptomatik olgularda ise eksizyon gerekir. Bu olgu sunumunda, 65 yaşında erkek hastada çift taraflı geniş mandibular torus ve yarı gömülü mukoza retansiyonlu, ankiloze sağ üçüncü mandibular molar diş varlığı ve toruslar hakkında genel bilgi verilmiştir. Bu olguyla ilişkili olarak torusların ve ankiloze dişlerin benzer etiyolojik faktörler nedeniyle birlikte oluşabileceği düşünülmüştür.

Çift Taraflı Mandibüler Torus ile Birlikte Görülen Ankiloze Üçüncü Molar Diş: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Environmental factors, genetic heritage, increased biting function and nutrition are some of the reason for intraoral exostosis to get developed. Torus mandibularis is one of the types of exostosis in the oral region, which is unilaterally or bilaterally located in the lingual aspect of the body of the mandible above the mylohyoid line. There is usually no need for biopsy for the diagnosis of tori. In symptomatic cases, excision is the treatment of choice. In this paper, a 65-year-old man with a wide bilateral mandibular torus and an ankylosed mandibular right third molar tooth with mucosal retention is presented and general information was given about tori. In relation with this case, it was thought that dental ankylosis and tori may occur together because of similar etiological factors.
