Abstract
An atypical case of mandibular exostosis is presented. It differs from those reported in the literature both for the buccal localization and for the young age of the patient (22 years). Actually, according to the known epidemiology, tori mandibularis are extra-osseous accretions which, in the mandible, are observed mainly on the lingual side, especially in the canine and premolar area, and in adult patients in 35-65 year age range. The performed surgical technique provided for a very conservative surgical approach. The linear incision, without release cuts, allowed the preservation of the mental vascular-nervous bundle, while guaranteeing an optimal detachment and adequate exposure of the neoformation. Furthermore, it allowed healing with minimal discomfort, and without neurological sequelae or anti-aesthetic scars.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
