| description | Introduction: Investigators over years have been fascinated by
dermatoglyphic patterns which has led to the development of
dermatoglyphics as a science with numerous applications in
various fields other than being the best and most widely used
method for personal identification.
Aim: To assess the correlation between dermatoglyphic patterns
and sagittal skeletal discrepancies.
Materials and Methods: A total of 180 patients, aged 18-40
years, were selected from those who attended the outpatient
clinic of the Deparment of Orthodontics and Dentofacial
Orthopedics, Mar Baselios Dental College, Kothamangalam,
Kerala, India. The fingerprints of both hands were taken by ink
and stamp method after proper hand washing. The patterns of
arches, loops and whorls in fingerprints were assessed. The
total ridge count was also evaluated. Data was also sent to
the fingerprint experts for expert evaluation. The sagittal jaw
relation was determined from the patient’s lateral cephalogram.
The collected data was then statistically analyzed using Chisquare tests, ANOVA and Post-hoc tests and a Multinomial
regression prediction was also done.
Results: A significant association was observed between
the dermatoglyphic pattern exhibited by eight fingers and
the sagittal skeletal discrepancies (p<0.05). An increased
distribution of whorl pattern was observed in the skeletal
Class II with maxillary excess group and skeletal Class II with
mandibular deficiency group while an increased distribution of
loop pattern was seen in the skeletal Class III with mandibular
excess group and skeletal Class III with maxillary deficiency
group. Higher mean of total ridge count was also seen in the
groups of skeletal Class II with maxillary excess and skeletal
Class II with mandibular deficiency. Multinomial regression
predicting skeletal pattern with respect to the fingerprint pattern
showed that the left thumb impression fits the best model for
predicting the skeletal pattern.
Conclusion: There was a significant association between
dermatoglyphic patterns and sagittal skeletal discrepancies.
Dermatoglyphics could serve as a cost effective screening tool
of these craniofacial problems. |
