Article Synopsis
- The hormonal fingerprint, determined by the ratio of the lengths of the 2nd (index) and 4th (ring) fingers, serves as a potential biological marker for evaluating oral health issues like caries and malocclusion, particularly in relation to Body Mass Index (BMI).
- A study involving 300 children aged 10-15 aimed to investigate how hormonal fingerprints could aid in diagnosing dental conditions and their association with BMI, employing various measurements and assessments.
- Findings indicated that a lower 2D:4D ratio (less than 1) was linked to higher rates of malocclusion, while higher BMI values correlated with normal occlusion conditions, emphasizing the potential of hormonal fingerprints in dentistry.
