Abstract Ankyloglossia is a congenital anomaly in which tongue movements are limited and Mandibular Tori on the other hand is a slow growing bone exostosis with well defined borders. Here we present you a case where 27 years old female reported to our college with cheif complaint of feeling a bulge below the tongue on both the sides. We did clinical and radiographic examination for this case. Intraoral examination revealed a high and thick lingual frenum which restricted tongue movements. On palpation of floor of mouth, it was found that oval swellings were present one on each side below the alveolar crest; these were hard in consistency, with overlying mucosa being firm, non tender and fixed. To further reach to a conclusion, an occlusal radiograph was advised which then revealed the bulging of bone with normal radiographic pattern suggesting a possible Tori. An Unusual Dyad of dental anomalies with ankyloglossia and Bilateral Mandibular Tori has been presented here. Although many syndromes are associated with the above findings individually, it still remains unclear as to whether such combination occurs by chance or it is a true syndrome.
