Abstract
Tori may present difficulties in achieving a retentive prosthesis with full palatal coverage. Management of tori in such cases may involve attempting to avoid coverage of the torus, providing relief over the torus, or surgical reduction/removal. This article presents a case where a patient who presented with a large maxillary torus was managed with a non-surgical approach, which enabled provision of a successful prosthesis. Dental practitioners could consider this approach for selected cases. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Thorough prior planning and a modified denture design can be used to provide an effective clinical solution for maxillary and mandibular tori.
