Background: Palatal rugae, also known as palatine rugae, are amorphous ridges of mucous membrane on the front region of the palate. Every individual is different due to their variations in shape, size, and arrangement. Rugae patterns appear during prenatal development and continue throughout an individual's life. Palatal rugae patterns are of interest to researchers due to their therapeutic value in fields like forensic identification and orthodontics.
Aim & Objective: The purpose of this research is to examine palatal rugae patterns in Indore City among men, female, and transgender individuals
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional research was done on a suitable sample of 90 people drawn from Indore City, Madhya Pradesh. The research included 30 men, 30 females, and 30 transgender people, ranging in age from 17 to 35 years.
Results: Palatal Rugae Patterns among Males Several unique traits have been found when analyzing palatal rugae patterns among males. These features include differences in the size, form, and arrangement of the rugae patterns. In comparison to females, males often have larger, more asymmetrical rugae patterns. Furthermore,
compared to females, males frequently display a higher number of rugae patterns
Conclusion: The application of palatal rugae to determine age estimation suggestively serves as a valuable aid in forensic dentistry to identify the approximate age of an individual.
