In this study, the presence of mandibular tori was related
to conditions associated with para-functional activity.
Para-function in the form of tooth clenching or grinding has
been associated with temporo-mandibular disorders
(TMD) and recently, migraine. Patients attending a facial
pain clinic in Belfast were assessed for the presence of tori
and results compared to age and gender matched controls.
The findings were that mandibular tori were present
significantly more commonly in both migraineurs and TMD
patients.
The results support an association with para-function in the
aetiology of mandibular tori and suggest that tori are a
useful marker of past or present para-function in some
patients.
