Abstract

Forensic odontology plays a vital role in identifying human remains in medico-legal investigations. Sex determination is a crucial step in the identification process, and various methods have been employed to achieve accurate results. Rugoscopy, the study of palatal rugae patterns, has emerged as a potential adjunct for sex differentiation in forensic odontology. This study investigates the effectiveness of rugoscopy in determining sex using a sample of dental casts from individuals of known sex. The rugae patterns are analyzed, and statistical models are developed to assess their reliability as sex indicators. The findings demonstrate the utility of rugoscopy as an adjunct method for sex differentiation in forensic odontology, contributing to the advancement of forensic identification techniques.
