Background:Dental records, fingerprint, and DNA comparisons are probably the most common techniques used for a person's identification, allowing fast and secure identification processes. However, sometimes it is necessary to apply different and less known techniques such as lip prints. The potential of lip prints to determine sex has been well exhibited and documented. However, very few studies have been conducted using lip prints for population identification.Objective:To determine the predominant lip print patterns in males and females in relation to Kerala and Manipuri population and also to compare the lip print patterns between these populations.Materials and Methods:The sample comprised of 60 subjects, which included 30 each from Kerala and Manipuri. Lipstick was applied evenly, and the lip print was obtained by dabbing a strip of cellophane. The classification scheme proposed by Tsuchihashi was used to classify the lip print patterns and the data were statistically analyzed using the z-test for proportions.Results:Type 4 and Type 5 lip print patterns were predominant in males, whereas in females it was Type 1 and Type 1’. Type 1 pattern was most common in both the populations, with an incidence of 28.33%. Furthermore, Type 1 pattern was found to be more in Kerala females and Manipuri males when compared to their counterparts. Type 1 was most common in upper right, upper left, and lower left quadrants whereas in lower right quadrant, Type 1’ and Type 4 were predominant in Kerala and Type 5 in Manipuri population.Conclusion:Difference between the lip print patterns in two populations exists, although subtle. However, larger sample size is necessary to derive concrete conclusions.

“…With regard to sex, lip prints vary from males and females in the given age group and no similarity was seen between any compartments. 4 In a Study on 50 male and 50 female subjects of Kerala origin on Lip Print Types, Type IV most frequently observed in both the sexes and in both the quadrants. 5 Our findings are consistent with this study.…”

“…Grooves on lips appear as early as 6 th weak of intrauterine life & once appeared their pattern do not change. 4 YasuoTsuchihashi conducted a study on lip print patterns of Japanese people and the lip prints classified in to six types. 5 Type I:Clear-cut grooves running vertically across the lip Type I': The grooves are straight but disappear half-way instead of covering the entire breadth of lip.…”

ABSTRACT:

Cheiloscopy, the study of lip prints is one of the important tools for identification of a person. Uniqueness of lip print of every individual helps to fix the identity of a person. Various studies have been conducted on lip prints, which have shown the differences among people belonging to different races and ethnic origins of people. The present study was conducted to establish the most common lip print type among North Karnataka population. A total number of 100 subjects were included in the study. Lipstick was applied to lips & the prints were taken by application of cellophane tape to the lips. Only the middle part of lower lip was chosen for the study purpose. The lip prints were studied based on Tsuchihashi’s classification, VIZ Type I [complete vertical], Type I’ (incomplete vertical Grooves), Type II (forking grooves), Type III (intersecting groves), Type IV (Reticular grooves), Type V (undetermined grooves). In this study, Type VI (reticular grooves) was the most common pattern.

“…In males, Type II pattern was the most predominant in both lips followed by Type III and Type V on the upper lip, and Type IV and Type I pattern on the lower lip. Gupta et al [17] reported that the intersected type of pattern was the most commonly seen pattern in females and the branched type of pattern in males. Reticular pattern (Type IV) was the least common type of pattern in both males and females.…”
