Dermatoglyphics is the study of fingerprints. Fingerprints are unique for an individual person. This aim of this study was to note if any correlation exists between dermatoglyphics and growth patterns.
Lateral cephalograms of 100 patients were recorded and traced. Mandibular plane angle was measured according to Steiner's analysis to determine the type of growth pattern and thus separated into two groups (50 in each group): Group I being horizontal growth pattern (HGP) and Group II being vertical growth pattern (VGP). All statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 21.
The ulnar loops in Group II were highest in frequency, and central pocket loops were lowest in frequency in both groups.
Ulnar loops were increased in VGP whereas whorls were increased in HGP. There was absence of central pocket loops in VGP.
皮纹学是对指纹的研究。指纹对每个人来说都是独一无二的。本研究的目的是观察皮纹学与生长模式之间是否存在任何相关性。
记录并描绘了100例患者的头颅侧位片。根据施泰纳分析法测量下颌平面角以确定生长模式类型,从而分为两组(每组50例):第一组为水平生长模式(HGP),第二组为垂直生长模式(VGP)。所有统计分析均使用SPSS 21版进行。
第二组中尺侧箕纹出现频率最高,两组中中央袋状箕纹出现频率最低。
垂直生长模式中尺侧箕纹增加,而水平生长模式中涡纹增加。垂直生长模式中不存在中央袋状箕纹。
