The Mystery of Handprints-Dermatoglyphics
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Dermatoglyphics refers to epidermal ridges present on the palm, sole, fingers, and toes. Over the past 150 years, Dermatoglyphics has been a powerful tool in understanding the basic questions in biology and genetics. It’s analysis is now beginning to prove itself useful in the field of dentistry. Each and every individual has unique fingerprints, even in twins. These fingerprints remain the same lifelong from their development unless they are damaged by dermal injuries.
