Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dermatoglyphic patterns (skin patterns on fingers and palms) can predict the presence of impacted third molars (wisdom teeth) in patients.
- It compares dermatoglyphic patterns between two groups: those with impacted wisdom teeth and those with erupted wisdom teeth, analyzing patterns such as whorls and loops.
- Findings indicate a significant correlation between certain dermatoglyphic patterns and the likelihood of having impacted wisdom teeth, suggesting their potential use in dental diagnosis and treatment planning.
