Recording enamel rod end patterns can be considered an alternative to fingerprints, which are susceptible to decomposition or mutilation. The available literature revealed that limited research has been performed on the recording of enamel rod end patterns, and none has been performed on primary teeth. Hence, this observational study was performed with the aim of identifying and analyzing the different patterns of enamel rod endings of primary anterior teeth. The objectives of this study were to record the different patterns of enamel rod endings obtained from the enamel surface of primary maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth through biometric analysis.
The enamel rod end patterns of 30 noncarious primary anterior teeth with intact crown structures were recorded using the acetate peel technique. The photomicrographs of the imprints were then subjected to biometric conversion using Verifinger Standard Software Development Kit® (SDK®) version 6.5 software.
The enamel surface of primary anterior teeth, the following enamel rod end patterns were detected and recorded-wavy branched (WB), linear branched (LB), linear unbranched (LUB), Whorl (W), loop (L), and stem-like (SL) patterns. WB was the only pattern that predominated all of the samples. Only WB and LB emerged as a single subpattern. The patterns LUB, L, W, and SL were never observed alone; rather, they were combined with two, three, or four other subpatterns, primarily WB and LB.
In this study, six enamel rod end patterns were identified and recorded on the enamel surface of primary anterior teeth.

记录釉质柱末端形态可被视为指纹识别的一种替代方法，因为指纹容易分解或毁损。现有文献表明，关于釉质柱末端形态记录的研究有限，且尚无针对乳牙的相关研究。因此，本观察性研究旨在识别和分析乳前牙釉质柱末端的不同形态。本研究的目的是通过生物特征分析记录从乳上颌和下颌前牙釉质表面获得的釉质柱末端的不同形态。
使用醋酸纤维素印模技术记录30颗冠结构完整的非龋性乳前牙的釉质柱末端形态。然后使用Verifinger标准软件开发工具包（SDK）6.5版软件对印记的显微照片进行生物特征转换。
在乳前牙的釉质表面，检测并记录到以下釉质柱末端形态：波浪分支（WB）、线性分支（LB）、线性无分支（LUB）、螺旋（W）、环状（L）和茎状（SL）形态。WB是唯一在所有样本中占主导的形态。只有WB和LB呈现为单一子形态。LUB、L、W和SL形态从未单独出现；相反，它们与其他两种、三种或四种子形态组合出现，主要是WB和LB。
在本研究中，在乳前牙的釉质表面识别并记录了六种釉质柱末端形态。
