“…Another study has suggested a decreased ridge count in patients with cancer. [8,10] However on examining dermatoglyphics in different cancers, one study found more whorls to be present and in studying high-risk kindred also found more whorls. In yet another study of 201 Turkish cancer patients in general, there was an increase in whorls and a decrease in radial loops.…”

“…This is in agreement with various studies that showed predominant presence of loops in patients with oral leukoplakia. [10] Group I (subjects with no lesions) were compared with Group III (subjects with OSCC) in the present study. It was found that the mean number of loops was higher and total ridge count and left ATD angle were found lower in Group III.…”

“…Environmental exposures lead to genetic damage which accumulates more quickly in individuals with genetic susceptibility to DNA damage than in those without such instability but with similar exposure. [5,10,12] In the present study, Group II (subjects with potentially malignant disorders) and Group III (subjects with OSCC) were compared. It was found that the mean number of arches were higher in Group III than in Group II.…”

“…It is proposed that many genes that take part in the control of finger and palmar dermatoglyphic development can also give an indication to the development of potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer. [10] In the present study, sample consisted of three groups with Group I (30 subjects with or without deleterious habits and no lesion), Group II (30 subjects with or without deleterious habit and potentially malignant disorders) and Group III (10 subjects with deleterious habit and oral cancer). Finger and palm prints of all 70 subjects were recorded using the ink method on recording paper.…”

Background: The study of the epidermal ridges and the patterns formed by them is dermatoglyphics. The influence of genetic or environmental factors on early development is often reflected by the altered dermatoglyphics. Hence, this study is conducted to determine the dermatoglyphic dependence of potentially malignant disorders and oral carcinoma and hence that preventive measures can be instituted to high-risk groups and prevents the occurrence of disease. Materials and Methods: Fingerprints were collected using ink method from 70 patients that includes 30 subjects with potentially malignant disorders, 10 subjects with oral cancer and 30 healthy controls. Data were subjected to statistical analysis (Student's paired t-test). Results: Mean number of loops and the mean number of total ridge count were found to be higher in case of subjects with potentially malignant disorders and oral carcinoma when compared with controls. Arches were seen predominantly in patients with oral cancer. Right ATD angle was lower in subjects without deleterious habit and potentially malignant disorders. These findings were highly significant statistically. Conclusion: We, therefore, recommend dermatoglyphics to identify individuals who are more prone to develop potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma. We suggest the use of the same as an education tool for genetic counseling.

“…Loops were at higher frequency in the inter-digital areas in cases than in control (p<0.05). This study concluded that dermatoglyphic patterns may have a role in identifying individuals either with or at risk for developing oral leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma [13].…”

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.

Aim To analyze and compare digital dermatoglyphic patterns in patients with oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis and their role as noninvasive diagnostic tool. Materials and Methods Two hundred patients were segregated into four groups of 50 patients each with oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis, and patients with habits but no lesions were included. They were compared with 50 subjects without habits and without lesions. The study was undertaken to investigate the association of palmar dermatoglyphics with leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis. Palm and fingerprints were taken using digital method which were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Results The present study found increase in frequency of whorls, palmar patterns in I 2-I 3 area, total finger ridge count, total triradius count and decrease in atd angle with the absence a-b ridge count in patients with oral leukoplakia and OSMF. Conclusion Thus, with the study of peculiar changes in digital dermatoglyphic patterns in patients with oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis, early detection and preventive measures can be instituted in normal individuals having habit history without lesions to prevent the occurrence and progression of these potentially malignant disorders.
