Aim: To determine the most common rugae pattern and to find if it has any association with dental arch form or malocclusion. Study Design setting: It was a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted using records of 200 patients visiting Orthodontic Outpatient department Bahria University Medical Dental College. Methodology: Number, size, orientation palatal were assessed on plaster models. ...

Proper patterning and growth of oral structures including teeth, tongue, and palate rely on epithelial-mesenchymal interactions involving coordinated regulation of signal transduction. Understanding molecular mechanisms underpinning oral-facial development will provide novel insights into the etiology of common congenital defects such as cleft palate. In this study, we report that ablating Wnt ...

rugae), rat (8) and golden hamster (7). We showed that palatal growth rate, spacing and addition rate in mouse/rat were remarkably similar (with respect to the embryo size difference), and that increase to 9 rugae in mouse is achieved by postponing the end of the addition process (hypermorphosis). Such a heterochronic shift may be typical of 1 variations observed among muroid rodents. In contra...

Forensic dentistry is the examination and evaluation dental evidence which will be then presented in the interest justice. The palatal rugae are generally transverse ridges situated in the anterior part the palatine mucosa. Palatal rugae are resistant to chemical aggression, thermal effects and decomposition changes because internal position in the head. They are widely used in edentulous patie...

BACKGROUND Palatal rugae (PR) are asymmetrical irregular elevations, recorded during maxillary cast fabrication, that can be used for identification purpose if previous comparative sources are available. AIM This study investigated uniqueness of PR patterns in relation to gender, palatal vault forms, and ABO blood groups in three (North-East [N-E], Northern and Western) populations of India. ...

Although its discussional stability, the position of primary rugae distal edges was examined for two reasons: on one hand, it was provoked by Van der Linden’s clinical study on the stable and constant position of the first rugae in relation to canines and on the other, by the lack of published research results on this issue in Bulgarian medical literature. From anatomo-topographic point of view...

Background:Rugae are the anatomical folds that are located on the anterior third of palate behind the incisive papillae. They are also known as "Plica palatine," and the study of these patterns is called palatoscopy. It can be used in various fields such as sex determination, orthodontics and forensic odontology Aim And Objective:The objective of this article is to analyse different palatal rug...

Forensic dentistry is the handling, examination and evaluation of dental evidence in criminal justice cases. Palatoscopy or rugoscopy gaining importance forensic due to many reasons, most important being that rugae are well protected oral cavity by cheeks arches. Rugae found be individualistic just like dermatoglyphics. The third factor they easy record. This article deals with various classifi...
