Abstract

Background: The anthropometry has been used in fields like  anatomy, forensic sciences, cancer research, and cosmetic surgery

Materials and Methods: For the current study, 100 subjects (50-Male;50-Female) with an average age of 18 to25 years were chosen from the Dental Department, Government General Hospital, Kurnool. By using thread and Divider, the Facial height, arch length of the subject was measured, and the digital photography was used to capture the palatal rugae patterns in our study.

Results: The mean facial height in male subjects was (10.25+0.86), whereas in female subjects was (9.83+0.52) in the present study. The male subjects with an incidence of 18(36%) wavy shape palatine rugae patten and the female subjects with  an incidence of 20(40%) of straight shape rugae pattern in the present study. The mean palatine arch length in male subjects  was 4.38 + 0.16 and in female subjects was 4.15 + 0.24 recorded in the present study.

Conclusion: The palatine rugae pattern in male and female subjects with different form patterns was helpful and acknowledged as being important in forensic sciences, the face height and arch length in both male and female subjects with incidence were not significant
