Fingerprint Pattern Analysis for the Early Detection of Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders: A Cross-Sectional Study
In the qualitative analysis of fingerprints, the whorl type of fingerprint pattern was the most prevalent in the control group, and the ulnar loop type was most prevalent in the oral precancer group. Thus, the ulnar loop pattern may be associated with higher risks of oral precancer irrespective of age or type of addiction.
