This study aimed to assess the prevalence of lip print patterns among males and females, and to test the diagnostic accuracy of lip pattern analysis for sexual dimorphism in forensic dentistry. A systematic literature review was performed following the PRISMA guidelines. The search was performed in six primary databases and three databases to cover part of the grey literature. Observational and diagnostic accuracy studies that investigated lip print patterns through cheiloscopy for sexual dimorphism were selected. Risk of bias was assessed with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool. Proportion meta-analysis using random effects was fitted to pool the accuracy of cheiloscopy. The odds of correctly identifying males and females was assessed through a random effects meta-analysis. GRADE approach was used to assess certainty of evidence. The search found 3,977 records, published between 1982 and 2019. Seventy-two studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis (n = 22,965 participants), and twenty-two studies were sampled for meta-analysis. Fifty studies had low risk of bias. Suzuki and Tsuchihashi’s technique was the most prevalent among studies. The accuracy of sexual dimorphism through cheiloscopy ranged between 52.7 and 93.5%, while the pooled accuracy was 76.8% (95% CI = 65.8; 87.7). There was no difference between the accuracy to identify males or females (OR = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.26; 1.99). The large spectrum of studies on sexual dimorphism via cheiloscopy depicted accuracy percentage rates that rise uncertainty and concern. The unclear performance of the technique could lead to wrong forensic practice.

BackgroundThe contribution of forensic odontology to dental ageing and superimposition are always dependent on the dentist's awareness of the responsibilities in advocacy for human rights and the integrity of maintain dental records.Objective The state-of-the-art article provides insights for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students as well as experienced dentists towards identifying the basic tenets of forensic odontology. ResultsThe article enumerates the classic and advances techniques commonly used in forensic odontology to identify a cadaver's age, gender, specification of time of death, diagnosing uncategorized diseases and detecting trace toxins which could never been retrieved from incinerated bodies. Advances in KnowledgeNot only does this include dental impressions and gypsum cast, but it encompasses all digital photos, intraoral and extraoral radiographs, panoramic tomography, CBCT, TMJ imaging sorted chronologically. If saving blocks and casts need space, they can be digitized. However, the need for old-fashioned physical records is expected to be minimal with the popularity of the use of digital scanners and computational applications.

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the predominant lip print pattern found among female students and employees of Peshawar medical college. Design: It was a cross-sectional study. Study Settings: This study was conducted at Forensic Medicine Laboratory of Peshawar Medical College from November 2021 to April 2022. Material and Methods: A total of 107 (74 females, and 33 employees) voluntary participants both students and employees were included in the study. Lip prints were be obtained from them using lipstick and cellophane tape, and studied in the presence of lip print expert. The lip print patterns were classified and frequencies determined. Results: Overall pattern, type V (26.62%) and type III (19.58%) were the most common ones. There was no significant difference between the ethnicity. Conclusion: It might be said that lip prints are distinctive, and that using them to identify people. The results showed that print of any two lips were not matched exactly. The patterns did not reveal any significant variability with regards to gender or ethnicity. Keywords: Lip Prints, Classification, Pattern Types, Cheiloscopy
