Mandibular tori are bony growths in the mandible along the surface nearest to the tongue. They are usually present near the premolars and above the location of the mylohyoid muscle's attachment to the mandible. Mandibular tori are usually a clinical finding with no treatment necessary, but they may need to be removed when fabricating a denture.
