dc.description.abstractPalatal rugae patterns can be useful for forensic identification purposes. However, some doubts persist in concerning the pattern singularity in twins. The purpose of this study was to assess palatal rugae pattern singularity in a sample of twins. To do this, the palatal rugae patterns of 19 pairs of monozygotic twins and 47 pairs of dizygotic twins were studied. Our results showed that in monozygotic twins, no statistical significant differences were found, either in the form or number of palatal rugae. However, in dizygotic twins, differences were found in the number or shape of all palatal rugae (except for the shape of the first two right ones), suggesting that the palatal rugae pattern can be useful for identification purposes of dizygotic, but not of monozygotic, twins.
