| contents | <p><strong>Abstract</strong><br>Craniofacial structures, including the human palate, exhibit unique morphological variations. Palatal morphology influences malocclusion and is affected by factors such as<br>breathing, tongue posture, and dental habits. This review explores literature on palatal morphology, focusing on arch form, length, depth, and rugae patterns, and their impact on dentoalveolar and skeletal patterns. A four-month search identified relevant studies from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, with fifteen articles selected for analysis. <br>Findings indicate significant variations in palatal morphology across malocclusion classes and skeletal growth patterns. Class I malocclusions have larger maxillary bases and intermolar widths compared to Class II and III. Class II division 1 malocclusions show greater palatal height and narrower maxillary arches, while Class II division 2 exhibits wider arches and lower palatal heights. <br>Unique and stable palatal rugae serve as reliable identification markers in forensic medicine.
