Abstract

Among the various anatomical landmarks of the oral cavity Palatine rugae are perhaps one of the least understood or unexplored regions of the oral mucous membrane. Due to this, they have been arbitrarily associated with functions like speech, adaptation, proprioception, and taste. However, the mere fact that they are one of the earliest developing parts of the oral cavity and persist throughout life with minor or no change should raise a doubt in anyone’s mind. This article in the form of a clinical case report presents its role in enhancing the tongue's ability to taste sour food besides presenting a simple technique to duplicate the existing palatine rugae in complete denture prosthesis.
