To qualitatively and quantitatively review the reliability of palatal rugae as a tool for personal identification following orthodontic treatment.
Cross-sectional retrospective studies assessing the accuracy of matching palatal rugae pattern pre- and post-orthodontic treatment were identified from PubMed and SCOPUS databases. The title and abstract of the articles identified in the search were screened for potential duplicates and relevancy to the topic of interest. The full text of the articles selected in the screening was analyzed using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quantitative analysis of the studies representing coherent data in terms of age and treatment choice was performed using RevMan software.
Out of 64 screened articles, only 18 articles fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the systematic review. Out of these 18 articles, only 3 studies had data compatible with the quantitative analysis. Significant changes were noted in lateral first rugae in transverse bilateral direction ( = 0.02) and between second and third lateral rugae of the left side in the anteroposterior direction ( = 0.04). Despite the dimensional changes, observers in most studies were able to accurately (>90%) match the palatal rugae pre- and post-orthodontic treatment through visual observation.
The accuracy of the visual matching, despite the significant dimensional changes, indicates that morphology could have potentially been the major matching factor. Thus, a combination of dimensional and morphological evaluation of the palatal rugae could potentially increase the accuracy of personal identification.
定性和定量评估腭皱襞作为正畸治疗后个人识别工具的可靠性。
从PubMed和SCOPUS数据库中识别评估正畸治疗前后腭皱襞图案匹配准确性的横断面回顾性研究。对搜索中识别出的文章的标题和摘要进行筛选，以查找潜在的重复项以及与感兴趣主题的相关性。使用纳入和排除标准对筛选中选择的文章全文进行分析。使用RevMan软件对在年龄和治疗选择方面代表连贯数据的研究进行定量分析。
在64篇筛选的文章中，只有18篇文章符合纳入标准并被纳入系统评价。在这18篇文章中，只有3项研究有与定量分析兼容的数据。在横向双侧方向的外侧第一皱襞（P = 0.02）以及左侧第二和第三外侧皱襞之间的前后方向（P = 0.04）上观察到显著变化。尽管有尺寸变化，但大多数研究中的观察者能够通过视觉观察准确地（>90%）匹配正畸治疗前后的腭皱襞。
尽管有显著的尺寸变化，但视觉匹配的准确性表明形态可能是主要的匹配因素。因此，腭皱襞的尺寸和形态评估相结合可能会提高个人识别的准确性。
