Area of Science:

Anatomy
Anthropology

Background:

The human skeleton exhibits unique anatomical variations.
Torus mandibularis (TM) is a rare exostosis on the mandible's medial side.

Purpose of the Study:

To document the occurrence of torus mandibularis (TM) in a specific population.

Main Methods:

Examination of 80 adult mandibles from Southwest France.

Main Results:

One mandible (1.25%) presented with torus mandibularis (TM).

Conclusions:

Torus mandibularis (TM) is an uncommon anatomical finding.
This exostosis is benign and typically asymptomatic.
