Abstract
This study investigates the correlation between fingerprint patterns and the occurrence of dental caries in school children. Fingerprints, which remain unchanged throughout an individual's life and are heritable, can be indicative of various genetic and medical conditions. This research aims to assess whether specific fingerprint patterns, known as dermatoglyphics, are associated with dental anomalies, particularly dental caries. The study involved 80 students aged between 5 and 18 from government schools, whose fingerprints were collected using the Ink Method. The collected data was classified using the topological method and compared between students with and without dental caries. Statistical analysis revealed that certain fingerprint patterns, such as spiral whorls and double-cored whorls, were more common in students affected by dental caries, while simpler patterns like radial and ulnar loops were more frequent in the control group. Gender-based differences in fingerprint patterns were also observed, with affected females showing a higher prevalence of complex patterns. These findings suggest that dermatoglyphic features may be linked to the development of dental caries and can potentially serve as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for identifying individuals at risk. Further research into the genetic and environmental factors influencing both fingerprint patterns and dental health is warranted to better understand this association
