Abstract: Background
Forensic odontology plays a critical role in individual identification for mass casualty incidents or mutilation victims. Through dental records and oral structures, including palatal rugae. Palatal rugae, being stable and unique, are valuable for forensic identification. However, traditional oral mannequins used for rugoscopy education lack the diversity of palate patterns required for comprehensive training. To address this challenge, we propose leveraging 3D printing technology to create customized oral mannequins.
Method
Using a prototype design approach, oral mannequins were designed with distinct palatal rugae patterns using 3D design software. The resulting designs were 3D printed using resin and polylactic acid filament materials. Subsequently, we employed an Anycubic M3 4K+ resin 3D printer to manufacture these customized mouth mannequins. To evaluate the prototype’s functionality and limitations, we conducted a SWOT analysis.
Result
Resin emerged as the preferred material, offering high resolution and intricate detailing. Our research successfully demonstrated the production of an oral mannequin, each featuring unique palatal rugae patterns, using a resin-based 3D printer. The utilization of resin as the printing material ensured the creation of intricately detailed and smooth palatal rugae structures.
Conclusion
This research presents a significant advancement in forensic education by leveraging 3D printing to create tailor-made oral mannequins, featuring unique palatal rugae patterns. This innovation holds the potential to enhance rugoscopy education, contributing to the field of forensic odontology and its critical applications in victim identification and criminal investigations.
