Description
Summary:Patient M.C.J., a 34-year-old woman, was referred to the oral diagnostic service complaining of a bilateral bone protrusion extending through the vestibular surface of the alveolar bone of maxilla. She reported discomfort after meals due to food accumulation provided by the plateau formed in the region. At physical examination, the hypothesis of exostosis was raised, which was confirmed by computed tomography. Upon receiving the diagnosis, the patient was informed that the most appropriate course would be preservation of her condition. Exostoses are bone excrescences located on the vestibular surface of the alveolar bone. They are rarely a source of pain or discomfort, and their treatment is not necessary except for prosthetic considerations or in cases of recurrent trauma to the mucosa of the region.
