This study investigated the morphometric changes that occur in palatal rugae during orthodontic treatment. The potential impact of these changes on the individuality of the palatal rugae patterns and on the use of palatal rugae patterns in human identification was also explored. Fifty pairs of pre- and post-orthodontic treatment dental casts were used. The palatal rugae patterns were compared b...

متن کاملImmune dysfunction in Australian Aborigines.

Whilst still conjectural the restricted and somewhat unique polymorphisms of the MHC (and other genetic loci involving host defences) of the Australian Aborigines may provide an explanation for their apparent heightened susceptibil...
متن کاملRugae Duplication – Different Techniques Of Customizing Palatal Rugae in Maxillary Complete Denture to Enhance Phonetics
Speech is imperative for human communication. Therefore, phonetics must be considered , along with mechanics and esthetics as the integral factors in contributing to the success of a dental prothesis . Palatal rugae contours have a very important role in phonetics, by production of linguopalatal sounds that involves the contact between tongue and palate. By customizing palatal contours of a max...
