“…(Camargo et al, 2013) Thus, the L, R, Z and S sound would be distorted due to the impairment function of linguo-alveolar articulatory target, and T, D, and N sound was distorted due to the impairment function of linguo-dental articulatory target. (Faria et al, 2019;Suzart & Carvalho, 2016;Walsh & McKenna Benoit, 2019) Given the lesion features of the case presented, greater the size of the lesion, the greater the chance of harming the positioning of the tongue and the lingual frenulum. (Auškalnis et al, 2015;Casenave et al, 2021;Mourão et al, 2019;Springer, 1954) The frenulum fold the floor of the mouth and the tongue, the lingual praxis depends on its complete function.…”

Mandibular torus is a slow-growing bone exostosis with well-defined borders, usually oval and bilateral in shape. Diagnosis is made through clinical and radiographic findings. Surgical removal is necessary when there is a prosthetic indication, recurrent trauma, and in rare cases, due to phonetic disorders. The interference in speech caused by the torus, is due to its size and location, which interferes with the usual positioning of the tongue, changing the articulation points, and thus making pronunciation difficult. Therefore, the aim of this study is to report a clinical case of excision of a bilateral mandibular torus due to speech impairment. A 47-year-old male patient sought dental care complaining of bone growth in the mandible. The clinical examination showed a bilateral increase in the lingual region of the mandible, which was unilobular on the right side and trilobular on the left side, measuring approximately 20x20mm. The patient underwent a surgical procedure to remove the torus under local anesthesia. In the 7-day postoperative period, suture dehiscence was observed, as well as traumatic ulcers and pain complaints. The patient reported that he did not pay attention to postoperative care. As a method of treatment of suture dehiscence, a metronidazole paste was used, as well as a laser therapy protocol, ensuring soft tissue healing. After complete healing, in the clinical evaluation, the patient did not present difficulties in pronunciation. Therefore, it is concluded that, although uncommon, the torus, due to its growth, can interfere with the positioning of the tongue and, consequently, with phonetics, which is a plausible indication for the surgical procedure. Once, the normal bony contours of the mandible are re-established, as well as repositioning and lingual function.

O sorriso com excesso de gengiva tem influência direta na formação de um sorriso não harmonioso, trazendo insatisfação e danos na autoestima do portador. Deste modo, a odontologia estética pode ser empregada como uma solução dentária a esse problema. Dentre as técnicas que podem ser empregadas, a gengivoplastia, gengivectomia associada a osteoplastia e ostectomia podem ser mencionadas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi relatar um caso clínico de correção de sorriso gengival pelas técnicas de gengivoplastia associada a osteotomia. O caso foi realizado na clínica escola de Odontologia do Centro Universitário Ingá – Uningá, com supervisão de especialista em periodontia em paciente do sexo feminino de 30 anos. A paciente demonstrou insatisfação com o sorriso. A anamnese, exames físicos e radiográficos demonstraram como diagnóstico a erupção passiva alterada como causa do sorriso desarmonioso. Ainda, como diagnóstico secundário foi observado exostose mandibular vestibular. Cirurgias periodontais de gengivoplastia/gengivectomia associada a osteotomia/ostectomia foram realizadas com sucesso e sem intercorrências pós-operatórias. Houve uma boa cicatrização e evolução do caso. Ao final, o tratamento pode ser concluído como satisfatório pela paciente e bem-sucedido, alcançando o objetivo estimado.
