The dermatoglyphics have been used in several researches for predicting various pathologies of oral cavity like periodontitis, dental caries, impacted teeth, mal-occlusion, developmental defects such as cleft lip and palate, and potentially malignant disorders. Impacted teeth may be associated with various pathologies such as caries, pericoronitis, dentigerous cysts, and keratocystic odontogenic tumors; therefore, predicting impacted teeth through dermatoglyphic patterns can help in diagnosis and future treatment planning of such event.
The aim and objective of the study were to evaluate and compare various dermatoglyphic patterns in the patients with the impacted maxillary and/or mandibular third molar (group 1) and patients having erupted maxillary and/or mandibular third molar (group 2).
This study comprised totally 300 patients, which were divided into two groups, according to erupted or impacted maxillary and/or mandibular third molar visiting outpatient department, who fulfilled the selection criteria for the study. After a comprehensive clinical examination, dermatoglyphic patterns were recorded from the same individuals. Panoramic radiographs were taken to confirm the diagnosis. Data collected were entered in the spreadsheet and analyzed. For all tests, value was set at <0.05 and was considered statistically significant.
There was statistical significance noted in frequencies of whorl pattern in patients of group 1 and loop pattern in patients of group 2.
This study concluded that dermatoglyphic patterns can be used to assess the prevalence of impacted wisdom teeth.
皮纹学已被用于多项研究，以预测口腔的各种病变，如牙周炎、龋齿、阻生牙、错牙合、唇腭裂等发育缺陷以及潜在恶性疾病。阻生牙可能与多种病变相关，如龋齿、冠周炎、含牙囊肿和角化囊性牙源性肿瘤；因此，通过皮纹模式预测阻生牙有助于此类情况的诊断和未来治疗计划。
本研究的目的是评估和比较上颌和/或下颌第三磨牙阻生患者（第1组）和上颌和/或下颌第三磨牙已萌出患者（第2组）的各种皮纹模式。
本研究共纳入300例患者，根据上颌和/或下颌第三磨牙是否萌出或阻生分为两组，这些患者均为前来门诊就诊且符合研究选择标准的患者。经过全面的临床检查后，记录同一患者的皮纹模式。拍摄全景X线片以确诊。收集的数据录入电子表格并进行分析。所有检验中，设定P值<0.05为具有统计学意义。
第1组患者的涡纹模式频率和第2组患者的箕纹模式频率存在统计学意义。
本研究得出结论，皮纹模式可用于评估阻生智齿的患病率。
