Palatal tori surgery

Palatal tori are benign, bony growths that develop on the midline of the hard palate. While generally asymptomatic, they may require surgical removal when they interfere with speech, oral hygiene, denture placement, or become ulcerated due to trauma.

Potential Complications :

• Postoperative swelling and discomfort.
• Infection at the surgical site.
• Delayed healing due to tension on the wound.
• Speech and swallowing difficulties during recovery.
• Rare cases of palatal perforation.

Surgical removal of palatal tori is a well-tolerated procedure with minimal risks when properly planned. Careful surgical technique and postoperative management ensure optimal healing and patient comfort.
