Introduction: Fingerprint is one of the oldest, reliable and mature biometric technologies and is considered one of the best, cheapest and legitimate proofs of identification in the court of law. Fingerprints are the ridges formed during the foetal period and do not change their course of alignment throughout an individual life except in cases of decomposed skin or some sort of injury. Fingerprints characteristics of either a same individual or two different individual are never same. Thus, these two aspects are enough to prove the efficiency and effectiveness of fingerprints. Two person having identical fingerprints is about one in 64 thousand million.

Materials and Methods: In our study 100 students of Indira Gandhi Govt Dental College were included in which 50 were males and 50 were females. Age range was between 18–22 years respectively. Fingerprints were broadly classified into loops, whorls and arches.

Results: It was found that most common fingerprint pattern was loops followed by whorls and least common was arches. Loops were common in all blood groups both Rh+ve and Rh–ve. Whorls were common in B group both Rh+ve and Rh–ve and also dominating in O+ve blood group. It was also observed that loops and arches were in higher frequency in females and whorls being common in males.

Clinical significance: A study was mainly carried out in an attempt to analyse, associate and correlate the relationship between fingerprint patterns with different blood group of individuals.
