Summary

Aims: To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative parameters of finger and palmar dermatoglyphic patterns in patients with oral premalignant and malignant lesions OBJECTIVES: 1. To record and study the palmar and fingerprint patterns in patients with oral premalignant and malignant lesions 2. To assess the variations in patterns of dermatoglyphic features between cases and controls and to observe the significant result.

3\. To evaluate which dermatoglyphic pattern is predominant among patients with premalignant and malignant lesions.

Materials and METHODS: Fingerprints and palm prints were studied in 160 patients, who were randomly divided into four groups: A. 40 patients with a history of areca nut /tobacco intake with the occurrence of the premalignant lesion (B) 40 patients with a history of areca nut /tobacco intake with the occurrence of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. (C) As healthy controls, 40 patients with tobacco/areca nut chewing habits, without any evidence of oral lesions (D) 40 patients without any habit, and without any oral lesions. Dermatoglyphic patterns were recorded and analyzed in the four groups using the standard ink method.
