Mandibular tori are sometimes removed to enhance periodontal and prosthodontic treatment. The exact cause of these benign bony overgrowths is not well understood, and therefore, their potential to recur after removal is also uncertain. Two case reports are presented in this article that provide evidence that at least some mandibular tori recur after surgical removal. One patient was followed-up for 11 years, and the other patient was followed-up for 14 years.
下颌隆突有时会被切除以改善牙周和修复治疗。这些良性骨增生的确切病因尚不完全清楚，因此，切除后其复发的可能性也不确定。本文报告了两例病例，提供了证据表明至少部分下颌隆突在手术切除后会复发。一名患者随访了11年，另一名患者随访了14年。
