Dermatoglyphics is known to be one of the best available diagnostic tools in genetic disorders. Dermatoglyphics refers to the study of epidermal ridges on the finger & palmer region 1 of the hand and sole. The finger prints are unique characteristic features of an individual and remain unchanged over lifetime. The dermatoglyphics patterns, have the same origin as that of the facial structures, as well develop concurrently. Thus, hereditary and environmental factors leading to malocclusions may also set off peculiarities in fingerprint patterns. This article aims to give brief insight of different aspects of dermatoglyphics studies highlighting is utility in diagnosing malocclusion and other developmental disturbances of the oro-facial structures.
