title: [The study of a diagram of the dorsum of the tongue for determining individual identifying characteristics].
abstract: Patterns of the back of the tongue were studied in 80 normal subjects and 200 corpses of both sexes to detect the individual personality characteristics. A technique of impression making using alginate mass and plaster casts has been developed. A chart and arithmetic scheme is offered for accurate presentation of the number and localization of papillae. Study of the patterns of the mucosa of the back of the tongue revealed individual features in the structure of sulcated, foliated, fungiform, and filiform papillae, which may be significant in identification expert evaluation.
