Dermatoglyphics is one of the important diagnostic tools used in the recent days for identification of an individual. Dermatoglyphics is the study of type of patterns present on digits, palms and foot. The mesiodistal diameter of the tooth is an important factor which reveals the tooth-bone discrepancy. Deciduous second molar and permanent first molar exhibit least degree of variation. Both the dermal ridges and the enamel layer of the tooth originate from ectodermal layer and during the same period of intrauterine life.
