“…The only significant difference between the sexes is found in the number of primary rugae. This finding differs from the findings reported for Jordanians [19] and Australian Aboriginals [14], but is consistent with the results for western Indians [10]. Furthermore, the most prevalent rugae direction in Sudanese Nubians is forward, which is followed by backward and then perpendicular for both sexes.…”

“…The results regarding the use of rugae to predict sex have been inconsistent not only between populations but even among the same populations. For example, in a study conducted among two Indian populations, different rugae patterns did not show any sexual dimorphism [20], while a study conducted using the western Indian population as its sample revealed significant differences between the sexes based on types and numbers of rugae [10]. Moreover, while the Greeks exhibit an absence of sexual differences with respect to main ridge numbers, the Swazi population is found to express differences [12].…”

“…Additionally, Gondivkar et al, (2011) showed that females had significantly greater sinuous shaped rugae than males among Indian populations. Furthermore, Saraf et al, (2011) demonstrated that circular type of rugae was significantly greater in males among Indian populations.…”

Background: To evaluate the role of different morphological palatal rugae patterns (palatal print) as a tool for personal identification. Method: A pilot cross-sectional study was carried out on 60 Egyptian subjects and 60 Malaysian subjects. All were above 6 years old, nonsmokers and were sharing the same dietary habits. Palatal impressions were taken from the subjects and a rugogram was issued. Many parameters were included in the rugogram. Rugae shape, direction and unification pattern were the main parameters involved. Modified Trobo classification and Thomas & Kotz classification were used. Results: The present study revealed that lines, sinouses and curve shaped rugae were the most frequent rugae patterns among both Egyptians and Malaysians. Forward directed and divergent rugae were more frequent than backwardly directed and convergent rugae among both groups. No significant differences regarding rugae shape, direction and unification status among both sexes in each group were observed. Curve shaped rugae, sinous shaped rugae and complexly shaped rugae were significantly higher in the Malaysian males compared to Egyptian males. Malaysian females had a significant greater number of sinuous shaped rugae than the Egyptian females while the Egyptian females had a greater number of line-shaped rugae than the Malaysian females.Conclusions: This present pilot study revealed that Egyptians and Malaysians shared specific characteristic rugae patterns and direction. Sexual dimorphism was not evident among both populations regarding rugae shape, direction and unification status.

“…Forensic identification is a challenging work that has been always an area of interest in the field of forensic science all over the world (Bing et al, 2014;Gondivkar et al, 2011). The morphology of human palatal rugae has a genetic genesmediated individual-specific feature which remains unchanged during an individual's lifetime.…”

SUMMARY:To investigate the feasibility of application of digital images of the palatal rugae in forensic identification. One hundred patients, consisting of 50 males and 50 females, who received treatment between January 2015 and June 2015 at Shanxi Medical University Stomatological Hospital, China, were included in this study. High-resolution digital image of the palatal rugae was taken from each patient using a digital SLR camera and then processed using a digital image recognition system, including noise reduction, contrast enhancement, image segmentation, feature extraction, edge detection and information matching. Using an MATLAB software system, match results and the time taken by each operator for information matching were recorded. The digital image recognition system assisted in information matching of the palatal rugae. Three oral physicians had a 100% correction rate in information matching. Two other operators failed in formation matching in one or two cases. The time taken by oral physicians for information matching was shorter than that taken by the other two operators. Unique palatal rugae morphology has gradually become a novel marker for forensic identification. Digital images of the palatal rugae morphology contribute to rapider and more accurate forensic identification.
