[On racial-ethnic features of the mucosal structure of the gingival edge and tongue].
The structure of the mucosal membrane of the gingiva and dorsal surface of the tongue was studied in 415 residents (men and women aged 18-35 years) of Africa, Southern, Central, and Northern Asia, and Russia in order to detect racial and ethnic differences. A complex of modern methods of investigation was used (use of intraoral videotape recorder, digital photo, computer analysis, plaster models, uni- and multi-dimensional mathematical analysis). The data can be practically important in forensic medical personality identification.
