Abstract

Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is the study of ridge patterns of the skin. It is well established that the ridge patterns of the fingerprints are unique and help in personal identification. Fingerprints are often used to make formal identifications and are still used as evidence in linking a suspect to a particular crime scene.The unique nature of fingerprints in systemic diseases has been researched at depth. This study is an attempt to characterize the dermatoglyphics in Oral Cancer.
Materials and methods : The study group consisted of volunteers from the outpatient of saveetha dental college and hospital.The fingerprints of the cancerous and non cancerous participants were recorded in a paper by using an ink-pad.
Result: From the obtained results we can see that in cancer patients majority of the population have ulnar loop and in non cancerous patients plain whorl makes the majority.
Conclusion: From the obtained details it is observed that the fingerprint types of the population with cancer are different from the non-cancerous population.
