The INTERPOL standard for the identification of unknown individuals includes the established primary characteristics of fingerprint, DNA, and teeth. Exposure to noxious agents such as fire and water often severely limits the availability of usable material such as fingerprints. In addition to teeth, the protected oral cavity also houses palatal fold pairs, which are the subject of this study to demonstrate individuality and consequently support identification. In this cohort study, 105 participants' palates were scanned twice with a dental intraoral scanner (Omnicam SIRONA®) over a 3 month period and were then analyzed using a matching program. The intraindividual and interindividual differences were determined, and the mean values and standard deviations were calculated and presented. The intraindividual differences are highly significantly lower than the interindividual differences ( < 0.0001). Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that palatal rugae pairs can be considered a highly individual feature and could be considered an identification feature in a young and healthy population.
国际刑警组织用于识别身份不明者的标准包括已确立的指纹、DNA 和牙齿的主要特征。暴露于毒物（如火和水）等环境通常会严重限制可用材料（如指纹）的可用性。除了牙齿，受保护的口腔还容纳了腭褶对，这是本研究的主题，旨在展示个体差异，从而支持身份识别。在这项队列研究中，105 名参与者的腭部在 3 个月的时间内用口腔内牙科扫描仪（SIRONA®Omnicam）扫描了两次，然后使用匹配程序进行了分析。确定了个体内和个体间的差异，并计算和呈现了平均值和标准差。个体内差异明显低于个体间差异（<0.0001）。在本研究的限制范围内，结果表明，腭皱襞对可以被认为是一个高度个体特征，并可被视为年轻和健康人群的识别特征。
