3D morphometric evaluation of palatal rugae among Malaysian Malay population

Palatal rugae pattern may have a promising and interesting future for human identification purpose. Previous studies showed that palatal rugae pattern has a lot of morphological and dimensional characteristics that are different from a person to another even among the identical twins. In fact, pa...

Previous studies showed that palatal rugae pattern has a lot of morphological and dimensional characteristics that are different from a person to another even among the identical twins. In fact, palatal rugae are anatomically located in a well protected place, behind boons, teeth, cheeks and lips, which provides a good alternative option for human identification in mass disasters and accidents. This study aimed to evaluate the variability and uniqueness of palatal rugae among Malaysian Malays using 3D dental models. A 3D Next Engine Laser scanner (USA) was used to digitize plaster dental casts of 130 Malaysian Malay patients (65 males and 65 females) obtained from the archive of Orthodontic Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia.
