Case report: calcification of genioglossus: a painful radiographic finding.
Resorption of the edentulous mandible can lead to the genial tubercles taking up a relatively superficial position. A case is presented where resorption was accompanied by calcification of the insertion of genioglossus resulting in the development of a painful mass in the floor of the mouth, whose nature could only be determined radiographically.
