“…Our study also showed high frequency of triradii count in both right and left palms among the study groups, highest in group III followed by control group, OSMF group and leukoplakia group. Our study also showed statistically significant difference in frequency of palmar triradii as per the literature [20,[25][26][27].…”

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.

“…17 The present study shows that there is a decrease in the percentage of loop patterns in OSMF patients than in healthy patients while an increase in the frequency of whorled patterns. The results of the present study are similar to the ones obtained by Satish Kumar et al 18 They examined the correlation subjects without any habit or lesion and subjects having OSMF. They reported increased whorl patterns among OSMF subjects when compared to healthy subjects.…”

Background: Genetics plays an important role in the detection of an Oral potentially malignant lesion. A major contributor to genetic study is Dermatoglyphics or the study of fingerprints and lines of palmer and plantar surfaces. Many researchers have used dermatoglyphics to connect genetics with oral lesions and malignancies. Thus, the current study has been conducted to find out an association between dermatoglyphic patterns and oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis and healthy subjects.Methods: The present study is conducted on subjects that have been already diagnosed with oral lesions. Fingerprint patterns (whorled, loop and arch) were evaluated by utilizing fingerprints.Results: The present study showed that the loop pattern was common in all three subjects. The frequency of whorled and arch pattern is decreased in oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis that healthy subjects. Arch pattern is comparatively decreased in subjects with oral leukoplakia than oral submucous fibrosis and there is a decrease in the frequency of whorled patterns in OSMF as compared to oral leukoplakia.Conclusions: Authors conclude that simply by observing the whorled and arch patterns in a subject, authors can hypothesize that risk of occurrence of oral leukoplakia and oral submucous Fibrosis and take preventive measures against the said lesions.

“…In the present study, we conducted an analysis of finger ridge patterns that included, simple whorls, compound whorls, ulnar loops, radial loops, a simple arch, and a tented arch, which was in accordance with the study conducted by Tamgier, et al,(2013) 8 and Satish Kumar (2014) 2 . Two more additional patterns, namely double loop whorls and central pocket loops, were included in our study that was not included before.…”

“…Studying different types of dermatoglyphics patterns can determine a number of parameters, which could help with the diagnose and treatment of various diseases and be considered a stable marker. As a result, it has the potential to be a valuable diagnostic tool for oral diseases such as dental caries, oral cancer, bruxism, malocclusion, anomalies of teeth, cleft lip, cleft palate, periodontal diseases, and dental fluorosis 1,2 .…”

Aim: The aim of the study was to observe and compare the dermatoglyphics patterns in betel nut chewers with and without oral submucous fibrosis. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among patients of either gender visiting the outpatient Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, of Ahmedabad Dental College and Hospital. A sample size of 100 subjects was decided and was divided into three groups: Group 1: 50 subjects with habit of eating betel nuts and OSMF. Group 2: 25 subjects with habit of eating betel nuts without OSMF. Group 3: 25 subjects without a habit of betel nuts chewing and not having OSMF. The ink was uniformly applied over the fingers by using a stamp pad. Prints of fingertips were taken. Results: On comparing the dermatoglyphic patterns with subjects of groups 1, 2 and 3, OSMF subjects had an increase in simple whorl patterns and a decrease in arch patterns, and subjects with a habit of betel nut chewing without OSMF had an increase in ulnar and radial loop patterns. Conclusion: The present study was undertaken to observe and compare the dermatoglyphic patterns in betel nut chewers with and without oral submucous fibrosis. On digit vise comparison of the finger ridge patterns of both hands, the middle finger and ring finger of the right hand showed statistically significant p values. Thus, with the help of these parameters, gutkha chewers likely to develop OSMF can be detected earlier and the cost burden associated with genetic cytomarkers may also be prevented.
