Abstract |
: |
To determine, record, describe and classify the palatine rugae in an Egyptian population, six
hundred dental impressions and casts were taken for six hundred Egyptian individual divided into
three groups.Each group involved 100 males and 100 females. Group I of age range 15 to 30 years
GroupII and III of age range 50 to 65 years. Group II partially dentulous individuals while group III
completely edentulous to see the effect of presence or absence of teeth on rugae pattern. By
combination of direct vision, photographs, stone casts and computer scannering, palatine rugae
classifiedinto simple and complex forms. The most common pattern was the simple form while the
complexform showed further subdivision into ten types according to its shape. These are crosslink.
annular. papillary, branching, unification, breaks, unification with non primary, crossover, reticular
and irregular rugae. The sexes were pooled and results showed that sexual dimorphism was
statisticallynot significant. Rugoscopy was absolutely individually and could be used as a personal
print for identification escpecially that it is completely sex and age independant. The presence or
absence of teeth never affect rugae pattern and longitudinal study for the same person showed its
stability. Rugoscopy could be a definite mean of personal identification in the forensic odontoostomatologyand
of great importance and value in medico-legal aspects. To give rugoscopy such
importance, previous recording, scannering and preservation through dental casts and computer
recordsis essential. |
