Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the risk of dental caries in relation to fingerprint patterns in children with hearing impairment.

Methods: This study involved 373 children selected from 3 different schools of children with hearing impairment. Dental caries status was recorded using the DMFT index. Participants were then categorized into 3 distinct groups. Dermatoglyphic patterns on all 10 palmar digits of each individual were recorded using the Cummins and Midlo method. The patterns were analyzed using a magnifying lens (X2 magnification).

Results: The gender distribution among the participants was 54.2% male and 45.8% female. The average age of the participants was 14.19 ± 2.146 years. In terms of communication methods, the majority of participants (95.4%) used sign language, while a small percentage (3.2%) relied on lip reading, and only 1.3% used a hearing aid.

Conclusions: No single fingerprint pattern demonstrated a significant predominance associated with dental caries incidence in the study.

听力障碍儿童指纹特征与龋病风险评估的初步研究。

目的：本研究的目的是评估听力障碍儿童的指纹模式与龋齿风险的关系。方法：选取3所不同学校的373名听障儿童为研究对象。使用DMFT指数记录龋病状况。然后参与者被分为三个不同的组。使用康明斯和米德洛方法记录每个个体的10个掌指上的皮纹图案。使用2倍放大镜分析这些图案。结果：男性占54.2%，女性占45.8%。参与者平均年龄为14.19±2.146岁。在交流方式方面，大多数参与者（95.4%）使用手语，而一小部分（3.2%）依赖唇读，只有1.3%使用助听器。结论：在研究中，没有单一的指纹模式显示出与龋齿发病率相关的显著优势。
