Fingerprints and Its Correlation with Dental Caries, Molar Relation, and Cooperation of Children During Dental Treatment: A Cross-sectional Study.
Background: Fingerprint analysis for personal identification is well-known, since it is specific to each person and does not change over a lifetime. These days, it is being recognized as a helpful tool in understanding the basic questions in genetics and is emerging as an independent field in dentistry, known as dermatoglyphics.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation of fingerprints with social behavior, dental caries, molar relation, and cooperation of children while receiving dental care.
Materials and methods: A total of 100 children aged 5-10 years who had reported to the department. Fingerprints of all the fingers of both hands of the subjects were recorded using a digital scanner (Futronic's FS80H USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner; Hong Kong).
Results: In both males and females, the maximum frequency for a fingerprint pattern was for the loop type, and the minimum was for the arch type. The predominant dermatoglyphic pattern seen in group I (DMFT = 1-2) was the arch pattern, which had 35.6%, in group II (DMFT = 3-4) was loop patterns, 37.6% and in group III (DMFT ≥5), whorl patterns 56%. In all three groups of malocclusion, i.e., class I/mesial step, II/distal step, and III, there is an increase in loop pattern and a decrease in arch pattern, which were statistically not significant (p = 0.479). In the cooperative group, the primary fingerprint type was loop, and in the uncooperative group, it was the whorl, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of the current study, in a developing nation such as India, dermatoglyphics could work as a noninvasive, affordable, and efficient indicator for dental caries, malocclusion, and children's behavior in the dental environment.
