Palatal rugae, which is one of the components in oral cavity, have a promising prospect in helping identification process because of its individualistic pattern.

This paper will discuss application of palatal rugae analysis in forensic identification, the benefits and the limitations. Several challenges in the future so that the usage of analysis of palatal rugae becoming wider and more optimal, will also be discussed.
