Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to analyze and correlate the recorded thumbprints of the children with the recorded spacing in the mouth. 320 children of age group 3 to 6 years will be chosen. the intraoral photographs will be taken using a digital camera to assess the spacing in the dentition. Ridge pattern of the thumbs will be recorded using a digital fingerprint scanner. Finally, statistical analysis will be done to correlate dermatoglyphics with the incidence of spaced or non spaced dentition.
