Abstract

Background: Palatal rugae appear in the 3rd month of intrauterine life around six different types of rugae patterns have been recognized at present, which might have a potential implication in human identification. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the association between dental caries and palatal rugae pattern among the general population. Materials and Methodology: A cross‑sectional study was conducted among n = 230, out patients reporting to Asan Memorial Dental College and Hospital. Palatal rugae identification was done using photographs. Canon EoS 60D digital single‑lens reflex camera with a 100 mm macro lens was used along with retractors and dental mirrors for identification of the rugae pattern and decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) scoring was done for recording dental caries. Results: The number of rugae varies across gender (P < 0.05) and caries‑free individuals had higher number of rugae than individuals with DMFT >1 (P < 0.05 – statistically significant). Conclusion : Rugoscopy can be used as a screening method to provide adequate preventive treatment by showing the higher risk of caries detection.

一般人群中腭纹型与龋齿之间的关系:一项横断面研究

背景:腭纹出现在宫内生命的第3个月，目前已经识别出六种不同类型的纹型，可能对人类的识别有潜在的指导意义。目的:本研究的目的是确定一般人群中龋病与腭纹型之间的关系。材料和方法:对在牙山纪念牙科学院和医院就诊的230例门诊患者进行了横断面研究。用照片进行腭纹鉴定。使用佳能EoS 60D数码单反相机，配有100毫米微距镜头，配合牵开器和牙镜识别牙纹，并进行蛀牙、缺牙和补牙(DMFT)评分，记录龋病。结果:乳突瘤数存在性别差异(P < 0.05)，无龋组乳突瘤数高于DMFT >1组(P < 0.05，有统计学意义)。结论:rugo镜检查显示出较高的龋检出风险，可作为一种筛查方法，提供适当的预防治疗。
