“…Bordoni concluded from his study that there is a 'strong genetic component in primary teeth which affects the incidence of caries'. [17][18][19][20] Individuals with high resistance to dental caries had a specific immunoglobulin within saliva conveying immunity by lysing the cariogenic bacterial cells. It was suggested that this phenotype was inherited and transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.…”

Aim: This study was undertaken to investigate and analyze the significance of dermatoglyphics in predicting the susceptibility of individuals to develop dental caries. Materials and methods: This case-control study was conducted on 1250 children in the age group of 5 to 12 years from Chennai Corporation School, Vadapalani, Chennai. Out of 1250 subjects, 625 subjects were in the study group and the remaining 625 subjects were the control group. The study group included children with dental caries in 5 or more teeth based on the DMFT index performed and control group consisted of normal, healthy children without any dental caries. The finger and palmar prints of both hands were taken using a stamp pad. The fingertip patterns were analyzed according to the classical method and configurational types were classified according to the topological method. Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric tests and t-test to compare the dermatoglyphic pattern changes between the study group and the control group and was applied for each variable, to compare the proportions, and p-value. Results: (1) Dental caries susceptibility of an individual increases with an increase in the incidence of whorl pattern (83% correlation). (2) All the variables show statistically significant value, with a degree of divergence of specific dermatoglyphic patterns among study and control group. (3) The dermatoglyphic patterns are efficient and can predict in assessing the risk of susceptibility to dental caries in study group. Conclusion: The dental caries susceptibility of an individual increased with incidence of whorl pattern and it decreased with incidence of loop pattern. Clinical significance: The dermatoglyphic patterns may be utilized effectively to study the genetic basis of dental caries. In a developing country like India, it might prove to be a noninvasive, inexpensive and effective tool for screening.

“…He put forward the first practical method of fingerprint identification responsible for basic nomenclature (arch, loop, whorl). [6][7][8] Dermatoglyphics is still not considered as an independent field of study, though there are bodies of theories, methods, and applications. It is still considered as an adjunct to other disciplines, serving as a vehicle to resolve broader biomedical problems.…”

Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is an extremely useful tool as a preliminary investigation method for diagnosing suspected genetic disorders. Caries being a multifactorial disease with the influence of genetic pattern, early identification of caries risk children with dermatoglyphics can help in using effective and efficient caries preventive measures. Aims and objectives:The study was undertaken to record and know the frequency of occurrence of fingerprint patterns among children with caries and in children without caries. Materials and methods:A total of 400 schoolchildren in the age group of 5 to 12 years were selected from a private school, Warangal, Telangana, India. Of 400 schoolchildren, 200 children were with caries group and 200 children were in caries-free group. Children with dental caries in five or more teeth based on the decayed, missing, filled teeth index performed were considered as study group, and the control group was normal healthy children without any dental caries. The fingerprints of each child were recorded using stamp pad method, and type of dermatoglyphic pattern of each digit was recorded based on Cummins and Midlo method. Data obtained were put for statistical analysis; p < 0.001 was considered statistically significant. Results:Although the frequency of whorl pattern was more prevalent in caries group, it was statistically significant on the left hand third digit of females and on the right hand third digit and the left hand fourth digit of males. Fingerprints of female caries-free group showed maximum of ulnar loop and males showed maximum of arches. There was a decrease in total ridge count in caries group, especially in males. Utility of Dermatoglyphic Pattern in Prediction of Caries in Children of Conclusion:Dermatoglyphics could be an appropriate method to explore the possibility of a noninvasive and an early predictor for dental caries.Clinical significance: Dermatoglyphics has a future role in identifying people with or at increased risk for dental caries so that risk reduction measures or earlier therapy may be instituted.

“…This is, quite simply, the fact that monozygotic “identical” twins do not have identical ridge detail. Moenssens notes that studies have indicated that monozygotic twins have more similar pattern types than dizygotic twins (Lin et al 1982). Because monozygotic twins have the most similar pattern types of all paired individuals, he argues, “Might we not infer from that experience that all fingerprint of different digits are, indeed, different?” (Moenssens 1999).…”

Is Fingerprint Identification Valid? Rhetorics of Reliability in Fingerprint Proponents’ Discourse

Beginning around 1999, a growing number of scholars have claimed that validation studies for forensic fingerprint identification do not exist. This article revisits that claim by reviewing literature produced by proponents of fingerprint identification in response to that charge. It shows that fingerprint proponents employ rhetorical tricks in which they claim to address the validity question, but then subtly shift the question to ones that are easier to address. The article explores several different rhetorical strategies fingerprint proponents use to appear to be demonstrating validity, while in fact demonstrating other things. These include "the fingerprint examiner's fallacy" and "the casework fallacy." The inability of fingerprint proponents to refute the charge that validity studies are lacking is further evidence that the charge is, in fact, correct.
