Abstract
This paper discusses the use of palatal rugae patterns and their contribution in the identification of individuals and the determination of family lineage in West Sumatera, Indonesia. Identifying an individual is a prerequisite for the issuance of the death certificate and for personal, social and legal reasons. The most common techniques used in this context are dental records, fingerprint and DNA comparisons. However, under certain circumstances, these cannot always be used. But interestingly palatal rugae patterns are preserved and can be used as alternatives. This paper argues that the study of palatal rugae (rugoscopy) can help reveal a person’s identity and determine family lineage.
