Comparison of dermatoglyphic traits and dental anomalies associated with cleft lip or cleft lip and palate patients with normal healthy children.
[]
Dermatoglyphics
are
considered
as
a
window
of
congenital
abnormalities
and
is
known
to
be
one
of
the
best
available
diagnostic
tools
in
genetic
disorders
.
The
present
study
was
conducted
to
observe
and
compare
the
differences
in
the
dermatoglyphic
patterns
between
cleft
lip
/
palate
(
CL
/
P
)
and
normal
healthy
children
and
evaluate
their
associated
dental
findings
.
This
is
a
cross-sectional
prevalence
study
in
which
dermatoglyphic
patterns
and
dental
anomalies
of
90
(
CL
/
P
)
and
normal
healthy
children
aged
0
-
15
years
were
recorded
under
standard
conditions
of
seating
and
lighting
.
Dermatoglyphic
traits
were
recorded
using
ink
stamp
pad
method
.
Dental
findings
were
recorded
through
clinical
and
radiographic
examination
.
The
most
frequently
seen
dermatoglyphic
trait
in
the
study
and
control
group
was
loops
followed
by
whorls
and
arches
.
A
highly
significant
(
P
<
0
.
001
)
difference
between
loops
in
the
study
and
control
group
and
statistically
significant
difference
in
the
whorls
(
P
=
0
.
001
)
were
found
using
Student
's
t-test
.
The
comparison
of
dental
anomalies
was
accomplished
using
Chi
-square
test
and
hypodontia
(
50
%
)
was
seen
maximum
in
cleft
patients
.
Any
deviation
in
dermatoglyphics
features
indicates
a
genetic
etiology
.
