A modified impression technique for a patient with mandibular exostosis

Abstract

The mandibular torus is an exophytic osseous asymptomatic overgrowth often found bilaterally in the premolar region. Recording this structure in an impression is difficult. This article describes a technique of recording the mandibular tori with a modified stock tray. This novel method reduces discomfort and trauma to the patient and the entire surface of the tori is recorded.
