UNUSUAL APPEARANCE OF MULTIPLE EXOSTOSIS: CASE REPORT

Abstract

Unilateral mandibular bone exostosis located in the buccal region is arare condition. A 25-year-old female who presented with unilateralmandibular bone exostosis had her clinical diagnosis confirmed usingcone beam computed tomography. Additionally, a nodular toruspalatinus was found in the midline of the palate. Wear faces on thevestibular cusps of 46 as well as thickening of the periodontalligament space were present. Both are signs of occlusal trauma. Thepresence of mandibular tori could indicate other underlyingconditions, such as the presence of parafunctional activity or systemichealth conditions. Mandibular exostosis can remain for life withoutthe need to be surgically removed unless it compromises prostheticrehabilitation.
