Rugoscopy is a safe and low-cost method that can be used as an alternative technique in the identification process of corpses or unidentified persons. This study analyzed the palatal rugae's shape and position using the morphologic classification of Dr. Basauri in two different genders. The analysis was performed on the rugoscopic casts of study models obtained from patients attending the Dentistry Clinic at Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener during the 2012-I care period. A form called the Standardized Rugoscopic Grid (C.R.E.) was used, designed and validated as a data collection tool. Additionally, 100 study models of the upper maxilla from 52 males and 48 females, along with intraoral photographs, were used. The results showed that rugae types 4 (sinuous), 1 (straight), and 2 (curved) had the highest frequency of appearance, while types 5 (circle), 8 (raquet), and 9 (branch) had the lowest frequency in both genders. The study concluded that the type of palatal rugae is related to their position. It was also observed that the number of rugae is individual, as there was no repetition of descriptive or palatoglyphic codes among individuals, making palatal rugae unique and unrepeatable, which allows them to be used in forensic identification processes. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the form used in this study was efficient, useful, and easy to complete.

Association of individual characteristics of palatal roughness and gender in patients of the dental clinic for adults II of the Norbert Wiener private university 2018

Rugoscopy is a simple and reliable technique for human identification, as palatal ridges are unique, unchanging, and permanent; making it a good alternative when fingerprints are unavailable. The objective of the study was to determine individual characteristics of palatal ridges in patients from the Integral Clinic of Adults II at the Private University Norbert Wiener, 2018-II, using Dr. Silva's classification. The study design was observational, descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 202 maxillary models from patients at the Integral Clinic of Adults II, of the Private University Norbert Wiener, divided into 101 male and 101 female models. The standardized rugoscopic chart was used as a data collection tool. A total of 2,162 ridges were found, 1,068 in women and 1,094 in men. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference (p = 0.02) in straight ridges for women. In men, there were significant differences (p = 0.01, p = 0.001) in wavy and circular ridges. No significant differences were found in point, curved, and angular ridges in either gender. Women showed a higher frequency of wavy ridges (46.7%) and straight ridges (35.3%). Men showed a higher frequency of wavy ridges (51%) and straight ridges (30.3%). Comparing both genders, women had more straight, curved, and point ridges, while men had more wavy and compound circular ridges. It was concluded that there is an association between the characteristics of palatal ridges and gender.
