“…In addition, conflicting conclusions have been formulated on the association between palatal depth and width. The findings of moderate‐to‐strong linear associations between these measurements are countered with disagreement on the direction of the association and the specific measures involved in different malocclusions 8,17 . Low correlations have been reported between palatal depth and other palatal dimensions 8,15,18 .…”

The complex and multifactorial aetiology of malocclusion reflects the interplay between predominantly genetic factors and environmental influences. 1,2 The latter include localized effects in response to sustained impactful insults such as mouth breathing, sucking habits and abnormal swallowing and tongue activity. 3 The more commanding 'genetically determined' functions in the craniofacial complex (e.g. brain growth, respiration and muscle activity) are thought to direct the growth of the craniofacial skeleton. 4 The literature on the environmental influence is extensive and may be summarized in key findings. The dimensions of the palatal vault have been closely associated with oral functions and habits such as mouth breathing and thumbsucking. 5 A narrow maxillary

“…Thus, this might be indicative of an association between DG and facial skeletal disorders, such as malocclusions. 19 Ethnicity of an individual has also been shown 8,15,20 to be a determining factor for DG and palatal anatomic characteristics.…”

“…The association of malocclusion and PD has been studied previously 8 comparing normal occlusion with open and deep bite, 29 Class I and II malocclusions, 30 and Class I and III malocclusions. 31 A study by Al-Sayagh 20 compared PD in four classes of malocclusion based on Angle classification in an Iraqi population. Malocclusion and PD were assessed in ethnically different populations by multiple authors 12,15,20,29,32 who have documented varied results, thereby confirming the influence of ethnicity.…”

Objectives: To assess correlation of dermatoglyphic (DG) pattern with quantitative palatal anatomic parameters measured using three-dimensional (3D) scanning of dental casts and to explore the possibility of utilizing these to predict future occurrence of malocclusion. Materials and Methods: Pretreatment casts of 477 Saudi Arabian patients were divided into Class I, II, and III malocclusion groups. Fingerprints were recorded for all hand digits using a digital biometric device. Maxillary arch analysis was accomplished including intercanine, intermolar distance, palatal height, and palatal area. The results were statistically analyzed. Results: The mean surface area of the palate was highest in Class II malocclusion. The DG pattern was not significantly associated with the type of malocclusion, except in the instance of the double loop characteristic (P = .05). There was a strong correlation, however, between DG characteristics like simple arch, loop, and double loop and palatal dimensions (intercanine, intermolar distance, and palatal height). Heterogeneity of DG pattern could be reliably used to predict palatal dimensions. Logistic regression revealed that only tented arch, symmetrical, spiral DG patterns and palatal area were significant but weak predictors of Angle malocclusion (P < .05). Conclusions: A novel correlation of DG pattern with 3D palatal anatomic characteristics was assessed in different Angle malocclusion classes. Few of the DG characteristics and palatal dimensions showed significant correlations. However, only some of these were significant predictors of Angle malocclusion.
