“…The percentage of the broad palate (brachystaphyline) was 31% in male skulls and 31% in female skulls, with no significant statistical difference between male and female skulls. Other studies reported similar findings [ 21 , 22 ]. They also opine that around 63% of Indian skulls studied by them had a narrow palate followed by a broad palate.…”

Morphometrics of the hard palate is an important aspect of forensic anthropology and odontology. Palatine triangle is a triangular area in the hard palate formed by the palatine processes of the maxillae, which can aid intraoral bone grafts. We present the osteological measurements of the palatine triangle (maxillary palate) based on sex, compare it with other hard palate parameters, and establish the correlation between them. Seventy-seven male skulls and 36 female skulls were examined. Various morphometric measurements of the hard palate and palatine triangle were performed meticulously. Mean and standard deviation of each parameter were computed for groups using SPSS 16.0. Relationships between all parameters were analyzed using Pearson’s rank correlation test. The mean palatine length was 38.84 ± 3.75 mm in males and 37.22 ± 4.12 mm in females; the mean palatine breadth was 31.36 ± 2.61 mm in males and 29.78 ± 3.07 mm in females. The mean area of the palatine triangle was 600.88 ± 80.16 mm2 in male skulls and 547.96 ± 94.28 mm2 in the female skulls. Statistically significant difference in various measurements of the palatine triangle and hard palate between the male and female skulls was noted. Leptostaphyline (narrow palate) was the most prominent type of palate. The area of the palatine triangle showed a strong positive correlation between the total length and breadth of the palate for both male and female skulls. A strong positive correlation was also observed between the palate length and the palatine triangle length. Palatine index and palate breadth had a statistically significant moderate linear relationship. The maxillary palate length, breadth, and area of the palatine triangle were higher in males when compared to females in South Indian origin skulls. Most of the skulls had a narrow palate. The results of this metric analysis of the palatine triangle may lead to a new concept of anatomical research into studying the hard palate, which can be used for sexual dimorphism.

Accurate sex estimation is crucial for comprehensive analysis of the biological profiles of unidentified human skeletal remains. However, there is a notable lack of research specifically addressing the morphometrics of the hard palate. Therefore, this study aimed to derive discriminant equations using the hard palate and assess their applicability for sexing partial skeletal remains in a contemporary Korean population. Statistical analyses were performed for 24 measurements derived from three-dimensional models of the hard palate, generated using computed tomography scans of 301 individuals (156 males, 145 females). Descriptive statistics revealed significant sexual dimorphism in the mean comparison of hard palate sizes between Korean males and females, with males exhibiting larger palates across all measurements ( p < 0.05). Discriminant function score equations were generated to aid in sex determination. Univariate analysis yielded an accuracy range of 57.8–75.1%, whereas the stepwise method achieved an accuracy of 80.7% with five selected variables: IF-PNS, GFL-GFR, IF-GFR, Pr-EcL, and Pr-EnR. The results of this metric analysis demonstrate the usefulness of the hard palate for sex estimation in the contemporary Korean population. These findings have potential implications for forensic investigations, archeological studies, and population-specific anatomical research.

El objetivo de este trabajo se centra análisis morfogeométrico del paladar duro y el agujero palatino mayor en cráneos de dos cementerios prehispánicos del Valle de Quíbor-Venezuela por medio de un análisis multivariante. Los resultados que se presentan apoyan la teoría del poblamiento venezolano a través de las redes fluviales del río Orinoco, así como, la continuidad biológica de los individuos enterrados en ambos cementerios.
