    They are more common in early adult life and can increase in size. In some older people, the size of the tori may decrease due to bone resorption. It is believed that tori of the lower jaw are the result of local stresses and not due solely to genetic influences.

  3. Buccal exostosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_exostosis

    The presence of buccal exostosis can be diagnosed by both clinical examination and radiological interpretation of the oral cavity. Clinically, buccal exostoses appear as single, broad-based masses, usually situated bilaterally in the premolar and molar region on the facial surface of the maxillary alveolar bone. [11]

    Torus mandibularis seen at axial CT and volume rendering. Torus mandibularis is a bony growth in the mandible along the surface nearest to the tongue.Mandibular tori usually are present near the premolars and above the location on the mandible of the mylohyoid muscle attachment. [1]

    In jawed vertebrates, the mandible (from the Latin mandibula, 'for chewing'), lower jaw, or jawbone is a bone that makes up the lower – and typically more mobile – component of the mouth (the upper jaw being known as the maxilla). The jawbone is the skull's only movable, posable bone, sharing joints with the cranium's temporal bones.

  7. Prognathism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prognathism

    When there is maxillary or alveolar prognathism which causes an alignment of the maxillary incisors significantly anterior to the lower teeth, the condition is called an overjet. When the reverse is the case, and the lower jaw extends forward beyond the upper, the condition is referred to as retrognathia (reverse overjet). [citation needed]

  8. Jaw abnormality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw_abnormality

    A jaw abnormality is a disorder in the formation, shape and/or size of the jaw. In general abnormalities arise within the jaw when there is a disturbance or fault in the fusion of the mandibular processes. The mandible in particular has the most differential typical growth anomalies than any other bone in the human skeleton.

  9. Osteonecrosis of the jaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteonecrosis_of_the_jaw

    Post radiation maxillary bone osteonecrosis is something that is found more in the lower jaw (mandible) rather than the maxilla (upper jaw) this is because there are many more blood vessels in the upper jaw. [7] The symptoms of this are very similar to the symptoms of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Patients are in a lot of ...
