Abstract

Abstract Objective The palatal rugae are connective tissue located in the anterior third of the hard palate and present asymmetrically on each side of the palatine raphe. The stability and individualistic features of the palatal rugae have been suggested as an alternative human identification method in forensic medicine. However, there are different views about the tissue’s stability and reliability in individuals undergoing orthodontic expansion, as the palatal mucosa is stretched which likely alters palatal rugal morphology. The present review aims to summarise the available evidence regarding the stability of the palatal rugae after orthodontic expansion. Method Following the PRISMA-Scr guidelines, an extensive search was conducted using three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus). Only studies that had control groups were included to allow for comparison. Results A total of six studies were identified. One report did not mention the type of expansion used, another used slow maxillary expansion (SME), and the other four used rapid maxillary expansion (RME). The results related to rugal length, morphological shape, and root mean square were inconclusive, likely because of data heterogeneity in expansion mechanics, the age of inclusion, and measurement outcomes. Conclusion More high-quality research is needed to substantiate the importance of palatal rugae in forensic medicine.

正畸/整形外科扩张后腭嵴的稳定性：一项范围界定综述

摘要目的腭嵴是位于硬腭前三分之一的结缔组织，不对称分布于腭缝两侧。腭嵴的稳定性和个体特征已被认为是法医学中一种替代的人类识别方法。然而，对于接受正畸扩张的个体，组织的稳定性和可靠性有不同的看法，因为腭粘膜被拉伸，这可能会改变腭粘膜的形态。本综述旨在总结有关正畸扩张后腭嵴稳定性的现有证据。方法遵循PRISMA Scr指南，使用PubMed、Web of Science和Scopus三个数据库进行广泛搜索。为了进行比较，只纳入了有对照组的研究。结果共确定了6项研究。一份报告没有提到所使用的扩张类型，另一份报告使用缓慢上颌扩张（SME），另外四份报告使用快速上颌扩张（RME）。与皱纹长度、形态形状和均方根相关的结果是不确定的，可能是因为膨胀力学、包合物年龄和测量结果的数据异质性。结论需要更多高质量的研究来证实腭嵴在法医学中的重要性。

期刊介绍： The Australasian Orthodontic Journal (AOJ) is the official scientific publication of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. Previously titled the Australian Orthodontic Journal, the name of the publication was changed in 2017 to provide the region with additional representation because of a substantial increase in the number of submitted overseas'' manuscripts. The volume and issue numbers continue in sequence and only the ISSN numbers have been updated. The AOJ publishes original research papers, clinical reports, book reviews, abstracts from other journals, and other material which is of interest to orthodontists and is in the interest of their continuing education. It is published twice a year in November and May. The AOJ is indexed and abstracted by Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch) and Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
