Craniofacial growth and development takes place concomitantly with digital ridge patterns. This concept has been an object of scientific enquiry by many researchers. The objective of this study is to determine any correlation among skeletal malocclusion, dental malocclusion (Angle’s criteria) and ridge patterns. A study cohort comprising of 60 subjects reporting for orthodontic correction; aged between 18 to 23 years was randomly selected. Skeletal malocclusion was determined by Steiner’s (ANB angle) analysis on pretreatment lateral cephalograms. Dental occlusion relationship was determined as per Angle’s criteria. Dermatoglyphic patterns were obtained using stamp pad and paper. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey-Kramer tests for statistical significance. Extremely significant correlations were observed.
