Background:In forensics, the mouth allows for a myriad of possibilities. Lip print on glass or cigarette butt found at crime scenes may link to a suspect. Hence, a dentist has to actively play his role in personal identification and criminal investigation.Aims:To investigate the uniqueness of the lip print patterns in relation to gender, ABO blood groups and intercommissural distance (ICD).Materials and Methods:The study was conducted on 208 randomly selected students. The lip print of each subject was obtained and pattern was analyzed according to Tsuchihashi classification. The blood group and ICD at rest position was recorded for each.Results:The study showed that Type II (branched) lip pattern to be most prominent. The B+ blood group was the most common in both genders and the ICD is higher in males. The lip print pattern does not show any correlation between ABO blood groups, gender, and ICD.Conclusions:The lip print pattern shows no correlation with gender, ABO blood groups, or ICD. Further studies with larger samples are required to obtain statistical significance of this correlation.

“…There was Insignificant relationship probably because this study used only one element, right or left upper central incisor, while according to the second theory intercanine angle was proportional to the intercommissural width which measured from the cheilion point on both corners of the mouth. Another possibility might be caused by differences in the results of this research is according to research conducted by Mahesh et al 17 where intercommissural width that correspond to the golden proportion to the intercommissural width when we smile. However, the study was conducted at the time when the mouth was in arelaxed state.…”

“…Landmark of facial anatomy and the oral cavity can be used as a guide in terms of the selection of artificial teeth. 17,20 Landmarks of facial anatomy include interalar width, intercommissural width, bizygomatic width, intercanthal width and interpupillary width. There are various different methods listed on some literature in the selection of the size of artificial teeth and there is no method that can last for long time and are used universally.…”

Various types of anatomical landmarks of the face should match its proportions with the size of the teeth which is the interalar width, intercomissural width, interpupillary width, Intercanthal width, and byzigomatic width. Some of face landmarks can be used as a guide in the selection of anterior teeth in complete denture, especially if the pre extraction record such as radiography image, extracted teeth, model study, the remaining teeth, face shape, and the shape of the curved jaw have been lost. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between interalar width and intercommisural width against mesiodistal incisivus centralis width in a group of Buginese tribe. Ninety nine Buginese tribe subjects aged 17-25 were selected. The interalar width, intercommisural width, and mesiodistal incisor centralis teeth were measured using caliper about three times for accuracy and precision. Mean of interalar width and mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width in males more width than females (p<0.05), and intercommisural width in females more width than males (p>0.05). The degree of correlation between interalar width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width was 0.030, -0.246, 0,225 in Buginese tribe, males, and females (p>0.05). : The degree of correlation between intercommisural width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width in Buginese tribe was 0,054, 0,013, 0,153 in Buginese tribe, males, and females (p>0.05). The degree of correlation between interalar width and intercommisural width was 0.301 and 0.356 in Buginese tribe and males (p<0.05), and 0,281 in females (p>0.05). In conclusion, there is no significant correlation between interalar width and intercommisural width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width in a group of Buginese tribe. Interalar width and intercommisural width directly proportional to mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla in a group of Buginese tribe. Interalar width and intercommisural width inversely proportional to mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla in males and directly inversely in females.

“…In the study by Mahesh et al. the use of inter-alar and intercommissural distance showed a good concordance with WCI 7 . Similarly, Mishra et al reported that inter-alar distance used to determine WCI is quite accurate when used in conjunction with in-tercommissural or interpupillary distance 8 .…”

“…An important factor contributing to a harmonious dentition is size, shape and arrangement of maxillary central incisors seen from the front 5 . Different techniques have been proposed to optimize the harmonious shape of maxillary anterior teeth 1,[4][5][6][7][8] . These are based on the work of Levin, who introduced the golden ratio in dental aesthetics 9 .…”

Objective: to compare Mondelli's formula with Obando's anthropometric formula in order to determine the mesiodistal width of maxillary central incisor. Materials and Methods: 100 adults (50 women) were selected. The mesiodistal width of maxillary central incisor was measured. Maximum smile was used for Mondelli's formula. Inter-alar distance and longitudinal axis of the ear were used for Obando's formula. Correlations and differences between estimates of both formulas and the actual mesiodistal width of the central incisor were estimated. Results: Obando's formula presented a strong correlation (r=0.8846) with the mesiodistal width, with no statistically significant differences between the two measures (p>0.05). Mondelli's formula presented a moderate negative correlation with the mesiodistal width (r=-0.3401) and a statistically significant difference with respect to the mesiodistal width (p<0.0001), in both men and women. Conclusion: Obando's formula estimated more accurately the mesiodistal width of the central incisor in comparison to Mondelli's formula in the Peruvian population.
