Abstract
The osteoma is a benign osteogenic neoplasm of bone. Peripheral osteoma of the mandible is uncommon. It is often asymptomatic and usually discovered when a patient complains of esthetic problems and presents for treatment. Peripheral osteomas have a characteristic clinical and radiographic appearance, but their pathogenesis is obscure. Described here are two patients with peripheral osteoma of the mandible, which might occur as a result of a combination of trauma and muscle traction.
