To analyze the morphological parameters of palatal rugae in a population of Maharashtrian ancestry.
This study was conducted on 1000 subjects of Maharashtrian ancestry with at least 3 generations on the mother's and father's side. Their palatal impressions were obtained with alginate and the casts were analyzed for length, shape and direction of palatal rugae.
Our results showed that the most predominant rugae were primary followed by secondary and fragmentary with significant differences between them. The most prevalent rugae shapes found were straight followed by wavy followed by curved with significant differences between them. According to direction, forward rugae were significantly higher than perpendicular rugae and backward rugae.
The rugae are considered to have population specific configurations. This baseline data of patterns of palatal rugae in a sample of Maharashtrian ancestry may serve `as an accessory tool' for population identification in Forensic Dentistry.
分析马拉地族裔人群的腭皱形态参数。
本研究对1000名马拉地族裔受试者进行,其父母双方至少有三代均为该族裔。用藻酸盐制取他们的腭印模,并对模型的腭皱长度、形状和方向进行分析。
我们的结果显示,最主要的皱襞是原发性的,其次是继发性和碎片性的,它们之间存在显著差异。最常见的皱襞形状是直线型,其次是波浪型,然后是曲线型,它们之间存在显著差异。就方向而言,向前的皱襞明显高于垂直皱襞和向后的皱襞。
腭皱被认为具有特定人群的形态。该马拉地族裔样本中腭皱形态的基线数据可作为法医牙科学中人群识别的“辅助工具”。
