ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: The aim of this study was to survey oral exostoses in human populations that belonged to the same region encompassing five periods over 6000 years, to determine the prevalence and its changing trend over time. A total of 306 human jaws belonging to the modern Xi'an region and four archeological sites, Banpo (6700-5600 years BP), Shaolingyuan (3000 years BP), Shanren (2200 years BP) and Chang'an (1000-1300 years BP), were investigated. The degree of buccal exostosis (BE), torus mandibularis (TM) and torus palatinus (TP) and the TP shape were recorded. The prevalence of BE, TM, and TP in the five groups was 20.8 %-62.5 %, 17.5 %-71.5 %, and 31.7 %-74.2 %, respectively. The differences in the three types of exostoses among the five groups were all statistically significant, but only TM and TP showed a decreasing trend over time. A high and quite diverse prevalence of oral exostoses was found in the five groups of samples. Decreasing trends in relation to time for TM and TP were detected.
RESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio fue sondear las exostosis orales en poblaciones humanas que pertenecían a la misma región abarcando cinco períodos durante 6000 años, para determinar la prevalencia y su tendencia cambiante a lo largo del tiempo. Un total de 306 mandíbulas humanas pertenecientes a la moderna región de Xi'an y cuatro sitios arqueológicos, Banpo (6700-5600 años AP), Shaolingyuan (3000 años AP), Shanren (2200 años AP) y Chang'an (1000-1300 años AP) BP), fueron investigados. Se registró el grado de exostosis bucal (EO), torus mandibular (TM) y torus palatino (TP) y la forma de TP. La prevalencia de EO, TM y TP en los cinco grupos fue 20,8 % -62,5 %, 17,5 % -71,5 % y 31,7 % -74,2 %, respectivamente. Las diferencias en los tres tipos de exostosis entre los cinco grupos fueron todas estadísticamente significativas, pero solo TM y TP mostraron una tendencia decreciente con el tiempo. Se encontró una prevalencia alta y bastante diversa de exostosis oral en los cinco grupos de muestras. Se detectaron tendencias decrecientes en relación al tiempo para TM y TP.

Introducción: El torus mandibular es un crecimiento exofítico óseo ubicado en el área lingual de la mandíbula, generalmente bilateral. Puede estar asociado con trastornos temporomandibulares, afectar la pronunciación, producir halitosis, interferir con la deglución y causar dolor en la mucosa cuando está bajo prótesis mal diseñadas. Normalmente, el tratamiento no es necesario, excepto por necesidades protésicas, problemas funcionales, retención de alimentos, trastornos fonéticos o en caso de que se vaya a usar como injerto óseo autólogo. El objetivo de este reporte de caso fue realizar la escisión del torus mandibular bilateral en un paciente sistémicamente comprometido para su posterior rehabilitación con una prótesis parcial removible. Se realizo la atención de una paciente de 66 años sexo femenino, a quien, luego de analizar los medios diagnósticos y la evidencia científica, se le pudo realizar la escisión del torus mandibular bilateral de forma atraumática; esto permitió el correcto asentamiento de una prótesis parcial removible. La escisión del torus mandibular bilateral es un procedimiento seguro y predecible, y ayuda a evitar complicaciones protésicas, como el diseño de la estructura, y biológicas, como úlceras, depósitos de comida o halitosis, lo que devuelve la estabilidad y la función al sistema estomatognático.

The mandibular torus is a bony exophytic growth located in the lingual area of the mandible. While this growth is generally bilateral, it can be associated with temporomandibular disorders. I It affects pronunciation, produces halitosis, interferes with swallowing, and causes pain in the mucosa under poorly designed prostheses. Normally, treatment is not necessary, except in cases with prosthetic needs, functional problems, food retention, phonetic disorders or if it is to be used as an autologous bone graft. The aim of this study was to perform a bilateral mandibular torus excision in a systemically compromised patient for subsequent rehabilitation with a removable partial denture. A 66-year-old female presenting a bilateral mandibular torus attended our dental clinic. After achieving the diagnosis and analyzing the scientific evidence available, the bilateral mandibular torus was atraumatically excised, allowing correct seating of a removable partial denture. Bilateral mandibular torus excision is a safe and effective procedure, which helps to avoid prosthetic complications involving structural design and biological complications such as ulcers, food deposits and / or halitosis, restoring stability and function to the stomatognathic system.

O presente artigo apresenta a utilização de osso autógeno, removido do torus mandibular, em levantamento do seio maxilar com a finalidade de reabilitação oral com implante osseointegrado. Um paciente de 40 anos de idade, do sexo masculino, foi apresentado com falta do dente 16 e torus mandibular bilateral, com queixas de dificuldade fonética e de deglutição. No exame clínico foi detectado torus mandibular multilobulado bilateral de grandes proporções e o paciente relatou crescimento lento, porém, contínuo, nas últimas duas décadas. Em exame radiográfico panorâmico foi constatada a necessidade de reconstrução óssea por levantamento do seio maxilar direito, para permitir a instalação de implante e posterior reabilitação. O torus mandibular do paciente foi então removido, particulado e utilizado para o enxerto ósseo no antro maxilar. Foi realizada análise histológica das amostras, tanto do tecido ósseo como do tecido de revestimento, no momento da remoção do torus. Outra análise histológica foi realizada na área enxertada após um período de 120 dias. Constatou-se nas lâminas obtidas que o enxerto foi devidamente remodelado e estimulou novo crescimento ósseo na área do seio maxilar, permitindo assim a adequada osseointegração do implante e a devida reabilitação protética da área em questão...
This article presents the use of autogenous, particulate bone graft from mandibular tori for maxillary sinus lifting and implant-supported oral rehabilitation. A 40 years-old male patient with the lack of tooth 16 had complaints of phonetics and swallowing. The clinical exam revealed large bilateral mandibular torus, being of slow and continuous in the last two decades. The panoramic radiograph demonstrated the need for sinus elevation at the right side before implant placement. The tori were removed, particulate, and inserted at the recipient site. Histological analysis of the soft and hard tissues of the tori was performed. Another microscopic examination was performed 120 days later at the grafted area. It was concluded that the graft has remodeled and stimulated new bone formation at the maxillary sinus, which allows for implant osseointegration and prosthetic rehabilitation...

Presentamos un caso de torus mandibular, lobular; entidad frecuente en la consulta odontológica pero poco conocida o comunicada en la literatura dermatológica. Enfatizamos la necesidad de familiarizarse con este tipo de exostosis ósea, para no incurrir en estudios innecesarios al pensar en neoplasias malignas del piso de la boca.
A case of mandibularis tori, lobular type is reported. Tori appear more frequently during middle age; it is well known in the dental literature but rarely mentioned in the dermatological one. Certain prevalence with respect certain ethnic groups has been observed, its surgical elimination are due mainly to prosthodontics reasons. The importance in the diagnosis is emphasized.
