“…This finding indicates the need for describing/identifying other shapes and conducting a larger scale study. The findings of this study confirm previous findings with respect to Egyptian and Saudi children [1], Saudi adults [9], and Indians [13,21,26] where wavy and curved rugae are the most common shapes followed by straight rugae. The results are also consistent with those reported for Australian Aborigines and Caucasian populations as they, too, are found to have a higher prevalence of wavy-and curved-shaped rugae [14].…”

“…In this study, the mean straight pattern was more among males and mean circular pattern was the least among females. These results are in contrary to the study conducted by Paliwal et al 8 and Kallianpur et al, 9 who said that the predominant shape was wavy. Intergroup comparisons of rugae shape revealed that the curved type was more among males and the wavy type higher in females, which was statistically significant.…”

Aim:The present study's aim was to assess the pattern of palatine ridges/rugae to identify gender. Materials and methods:This study consists of a total of 50 participants (25 males and 25 females). Participants of the age range of 20 to 50 years were selected from the outpatient department. According to the shape and size of the patient's arches, maxillary impression trays were selected using alginate, and casts were poured subsequently. With the help of a sharp graphite pencil, the palatine ridges were delineated to make it prominent, and on either side of the midline, the number of rugae was counted and the length measured. Using these parameters, the pattern of rugae was determined. Data were analyzed using independent sample t-test. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results:Males had more number of palatal rugae (mean 5.96 ± 0.88) compared with females (5.24 ± 0.77), and there was a statistically significant association between them. The mean length of palatal rugae was more in males (6.25 ± 1.15 mm) than females (5.16 ± 1.40 mm), and it was found to be a statistically significant association. The straight pattern was more common in both males and females (2.56 ± 1.08, 2.32 ± 0.85 respectively) than other patterns.

“…Paliwal et al, in 2010 determined the number and pattern of palatal rugae among Madhya Pradesh and Kerala populations of India and reported that straight rugae pattern on the right side of the palate among males were significantly predominant when compared to Madhya Pradesh population [33]. Kashima et al, compared the palatine rugae and shape of the hard palate among Japanese and Indians children and reported that Japanese children had more primary rugae than Indian children and the palatal raphe of Japanese children were wider than those of the Indian children [34].…”

Palatal rugae refer to the ridges on the anterior part of the palatal mucosa, each side of the median palatal raphe and behind the incisive papilla. Various studies on different populations have reported unique rugal patterns within each population. Aim:To study, analyse and report the significant palatal rugae patterns among West Godavari District population and compare with the patterns reported in the literature, which can aid as an additional method of identification in cases of crime or mass disasters.Material and Methods: Pre-orthodontic casts of 100 samples (50 males and 50 females) were selected. The method of identification of the rugae pattern used was that of which includes the number, shape and unification patterns of rugae. The different types of rugae between males and females were statistically analyzed and compared with other population studies in the literature.Results: A statistically insignificant (p>0.05) higher mean primary rugae scores was found in males (7.48±2.45) while secondary (3.38±2.02) and tertiary (2.56±1.84) rugae were more among females. Both genders showed predominance in wavy (males = 4.82±1.91 and females = 4.74±1.98) type of distribution. Commonly observed pattern in the mode of unification was converging (58%) in males and diverging pattern (62%) among femaleswhich was statistically significant (p=0.04). Conclusions:The findings showed a specific rugae pattern in this group when compared to other populations reported in the literature. Palatal rugae patterns are definitely associated with regional variation and can aid as an additional tool in forensic identification procedures.
