Abstract
Torus are benign bony growths commonly found in the mouth, particularly on the hard palate, maxilla, and in the vestibular or palatine region of the alveolar process, or on the lingual aspect of the mandible above the mylohyoid line. They are more common in women and individuals of Asian descent. The clinical case presented here illustrates the removal of a large lobular palatal torus in a 67-year-old male patient, performed in an outpatient setting. The surgical access was achieved through a mucoperiosteal flap in a "Y" shape due to the extension towards the posterior region. After the removal of the exostosis, suturing was performed with the placement of a surgical drain. Fifteen days post-surgery, the patient showed no signs of tissue necrosis.
