“…Dermatoglyphics includes genetics, anthropology, and egyptology. [123] Finger, palm, and sole impressions are said to be products of both environment and heredity. No two individuals, even monozygotic twins, have the same fingerprints.…”

Aims and Objectives:Dermatoglyphics is the study of fingerprints. Fingerprints are unique for an individual person. This aim of this study was to note if any correlation exists between dermatoglyphics and growth patterns.Materials and Methods:Lateral cephalograms of 100 patients were recorded and traced. Mandibular plane angle was measured according to Steiner's analysis to determine the type of growth pattern and thus separated into two groups (50 in each group): Group I being horizontal growth pattern (HGP) and Group II being vertical growth pattern (VGP). All statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 21.Results:The ulnar loops in Group II were highest in frequency, and central pocket loops were lowest in frequency in both groups.Conclusion:Ulnar loops were increased in VGP whereas whorls were increased in HGP. There was absence of central pocket loops in VGP.

“…Face structure and fingerprints (dermatoglyphics) are specific to the person; therefore, these two features are important biometric characteristics that come from the same genetic source, develop at the same embryologic periods, and stay the same throughout the person's life. 9,10 In terms of genetic relationship and structuring, they are examined together or separately, especially in determining race and sex in forensic research. 25 In this study, the relationship between 2 important biometrical features (soft tissue profile structure and fingerprint) was examined.…”

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the convexity angle of facial tissue and fingerprint types by analyzing the connection between dermatoglyphic prints and facial structure. A total of 65 adults (24 females, 41 males) participated in the study. Each participant's fingerprint was analyzed using conventional methods of observation upon the index finger of the dominant hand. Fingerprints were classified into 3 fundamental types: arch, whorl, or loop. Craniofacial profiling was performed with measurements of hard tissue (Gl'-A-Pg') and soft tissue facial convexity (Gl-Sn-Pg) and total facial convexity (Gl-Prn-Pg) angles between 3 anthropological points determined on the lateral direct radiographs of the participants. Soft tissue convexity facial angle (Gl-Sn-Pg) values were found to be an average of 166.83°in females and an average of 162.05°in males. (Gl-Prn-Pg) values were found to be an average of 138.54°in females and 135.27°in males. The soft tissue profile of males showed a significantly convex structure compared with females. Also, the "whorl" type of fingerprint was found to be dominant in both sexes. There is no statistically significant difference in terms of soft tissue profile convexity in individuals belonging to the 3 different fingerprint groups. No statistically significant difference in soft tissue profile angular values between right-hand thumb and index fingerprint type groups were found among and between sexes. However, a comprehensive analysis of the relationships between the nose, lips, mouth, ear, and eyes and fingerprints of the same person may prove to be beneficial.

“…Dermal ridge originates from the fetal volar pads from the ectodermal layer in the 6-7th week of embryonic life and patterns remain constant throughout life and are not altered by disease or age. 1,2 Craniofacial characteristics and dermal ridge patterns are mainly, but not exclusively, genetically-governed structures, it has been assumed that genetic and environmental factors that cause changes in alveolar bone, palate and dental occlusion may also cause peculiarities in the appearance of fingerprints and palm prints. 3 This association may be due to the fact that the development of dentition and the palate occurs during the same period as the development of dermal patterns.…”

Dermatoglyphics are useful in anthropological, medico legal and genetic studies. Hereditary and prenatal environmental factors leading to malocclusion may also influence fingerprint patterns which are classified into arches, loops and whorls. Dermatoglyphic pattern can be recorded by stamp ink pad method or scanner method. This study was conducted with an aim to compare stamp pad method and scanner method in terms of visibility and ease of identification by panel of postgraduate students of orthodontic speciality.Finger print pattern of 140 digit of 14 participants with aged range of 20-40 years, were recorded by both stamp pad method and scanning method using Futronic scanner. Print out of scanned images was taken. Post graduate students were briefed about identification of different types of dermatoglyphic pattern and asked to identify finger prints of each subject which were arranged randomly in a file. The fingerprint pattern was cross-checked and identified by the operator. A questionnaire in the Google form was also given to each participant to know the ease of identification and visibility of finger pattern in both patterns. 92.8% of fingerprint pattern were correctly judged by participants for scanner method whereas 90% of fingerprint pattern were correctly judged by same participants for stamp pad method in comparison to judgement made by operator. According to participants scanner method was easier to identify due to better visibility.77.8% participants found smudges in ink pad, 83.3% participants found better color contrast in scanning method. 72.2% participants found stamp pad method to be more time consuming.It can be concluded that the scanner method may be better in terms of identification, visibility as seen by the response of participants. Therefore, there was less error in identification of fingerprint pattern with scanner method but with experience, accurate results could be derived from both the techniques.
