Differences Of Enamel Print Patterns On Buccal And Lingual Surfaces Of Permanent Maxillary Right First Premolar Extracted At RSGM Unpad

---

Introduction: Ameloglyphics is the study of enamel print patterns on the tooth surface. Enamel print patterns are unique to each individual. The aim of this research is to investigate the differences between enamel print patterns on buccal and lingual surfaces of maxillary right first premolar. Method: A total of 34 teeth samples were enrolled in this analytic study using purposive sampling method. Photomicrographs of samples were taken and the digital photos were then analyzed using SourceAFIS biometric software. The enamel print patterns are classified by using Manjunath Classification. Results: The results showed that 34 samples or 100% show similarity of enamel print patterns on the buccal and lingual surfaces. Discussion: This may be due to the same placement of developing tooth bud, temperature, environmental factor, genetics, pressure and nutrition to the ameloblasts cells in a tooth. Conclusions: Both buccal and lingual in a sample show high similarity because the frequencies of the similar sub patterns occur on both surfaces are very high. We can narrow down the prospect of identifying an individual in a large scale by using alternative surface if the enamel prints of ante-mortem recorded surface are damaged. Tooth print could be used as a valuable tool in forensic science for personal identification with good prospects in the field of dental forensics.
