Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluated the association between genetic variants in WNT3A and WNT11, and palatal rugae phenotypes. DESIGN: Eighty-five biological unrelated orthodontic patients were included. Dental casts were assessed and data regarding the length, shape, direction and unification of rugae were recorded. The individuals were subsequently classified for each of the following rugae traits: total...
