Dermatoglyphics: A Genetic Marker of Dental Caries
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Forensic Odontology - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Study of dermatoglyphic patterns is useful in diagnosis of various genetic related diseases as well as a valuable adjunct in judicial and legal investigations. Genetic factor also plays an important role in etiology of dental caries. Study of configuration of dermal ridges on palmar and plantar surfaces of hands and feet is called dermatoglyphics. As dermal ridges and tooth structures are formed almost during the same period of intra uterine life, so hereditary and environmental factors causing dental caries in tooth can show similar alterations in dermal ridge patterns. So keeping in view these common factors, we decided to study correlation between dental caries and dermatoglyphic patterns among subjects.
