چکیده

there is no clear criteria for classification by size, classification into groups of 2 mm, 2-4 mm, and above 4 mm, or 3 mm, 3-6 mm, and above 6 mm is common. 2 mm and 3 mm have been found to be common sizes from these studies [1]. There is no absolute size of tori that indicates surgery, but the associated symptoms of growing tori can be an indication. The possible complications after surgery include hematoma, edema, wound dehiscence, and infection [1]. Our patient also had a thinned mucosal layer, so it was excorticated with care before closure, but wound dehiscence was observed after 6 days, so wound revision was conducted. After the revisional operation, the wound healed with no more problems (Fig. 3). This must be considered before planning surgery, and it is important to minimize morbidity on the lesion.
