Palatal rugae in Swazi, southern Africa
Abstract:
In a sample of Swazi (47 males and 70 females) the palatal rugae were studied and the results compared with those in the literature. The rugae are generally strong and show considerable complexity. Strength of ridges is associated with arch height, which suggests common factors in development.
