About this document
Dermatoglyphics and Amlodipine Gingival Enlargement by Akshaya Narayanan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This pilot study investigates the correlation between dermatoglyphics and amlodipine-induced gingival enlargement in hypertensive patients. The study found a predominance of whorl fingerprint patterns (55%) among participants, with females showing a higher incidence than males. The findings suggest that specific fingerprint patterns may serve as predictive markers for individuals at risk of developing gingival enlargement due to amlodipine use.
