Abstract
Torus palatinus is a common bony outgrowth of the hard palate. We discuss our surgical approach to managing a torus palatinus in a 61-year-old woman. She had a seven-year history of taking oral bisphosphonates, increasing the risk of medication related osteonecrosis. The torus had been slowly increasing in size over the previous three years. It affected her ability to eat and was associated with frequent food packing. The torus was surgically removed with no postoperative complications.
