The purpose of the literature is a mini review of the relationship of the malocclusion categories and palatal rugae pattern. Palatal rugae{PR} shape assist in early interception and prevention of malocclusions, as it is formed in the early intra-uterine life and remains stable throughout the life, equating with other occlusal relations. Platal rugae are unique to every individual, so they can be used as a key in human identification. Palatal rugae shape can be influenced by certain pressure giving habits and certain orthodontic treatments, only little literatures give the valued information of association of palatal rugae pattern with malocclusion and it should be take to be a part of research field, Here we are discussing about the PR patterns associated with different types of malocclusion.
