Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Periodontitis is a disease affecting the oral cavity resulting in loss of teeth and it is the second major cause after dental caries resulting in edentulism, the diagnosis of this disease at the earliest possible stage is key for its successful treatment. The diagnostic aids currently available are depending on evaluation of clinical signs and symptoms and the advanced diagnostics aid aim at evaluating microbial profile of the affected sites which are very expensive and cannot be used as a chair side aid. The prediction of a disease by any means may be really an indispensible tool when it comes to minimizing the morbidity of this disease, recent trails which were carried out to evaluate any possible link with the dermatoglyphics (finger print pattern) and susceptibility of an individual to a particular disease has yielded some valuable information in case of some medical conditions. This study deals with the search of any possible link between dermatoglyphics and periodontitis and evaluation of the applicability of previous study results in the participants of this study.
