“…Our study illustrated that Type I was the most predominant lip print pattern which is followed by Type II, Type IV, Type III, Type I′ and Type V among females in different regions of Punjab, Pakistan. These results are consistent with data obtained from studies which were done in different states of India including Uttar Pradesh 3,7 , Maharashtra 13 and Chhattisgarh 14 in which Type 1 was found to be the commonest one. Our results also match those observed in earlier studies done in Lahore, Pakistan.…”

“…6 Our lips contain salivary and sweat glands while sebaceous glands are present at junction of upper and lower lips that leads to development of latent lip prints. 3,7,11 According to a study conducted in Nigeria, the author gave an example of a researcher who identified the criminal from latent lip prints. 12 We also used the technique of latent lip prints in our study.…”

“…5 It is also collected by the crime scene examiners when they find lip prints on the cigarette butts, glasses, clothing, cups, windows and on doors as a trace evidence. 6,7 Lip pattern printing is considered one of the surest, easiest and less time taking methods of personal identity due to the fact that lips naturally have special lines and grooves which varies among individuals and populations. 8 There are certain conditions which may affect the appearance of lip prints pattern.…”

Introduction: Personal identity is an attribute of a mankind which makes him or her unique. Cheiloscopy is one of the sciences which is used to study and examine the lip prints pattern in order to establish the personal identity in Forensic Medicine. Objectives: To categorize lip patterns in female population of different divisions of Punjab, Pakistan according to Suzuki and Tsuchihashi’s classification. Study Design: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study. Setting: The present study was conducted on 357 female students of 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of University Medical and Dental College, Faisalabad in the department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology. Period: March-June, 2018. Methods: After obtaining informed consent students were asked to stand erect and their lip prints were taken on the glass slide. Next carbon black powder was dispensed on the slide and the latent lip print pattern was obtained. The slide was preserved by using cellophane tape and lip prits patterns were scanned. These patterns were then categorized according to Suzuki and Tsuchihashi’s classification by using Software Adobe Photoshop version 6.0. Results: The results showed that most participants were from central Punjab (70%) followed by Southern Punjab (19%), Western Punjab (9.6%) and Northern Punjab (1.4%). The most common lip print pattern was Type I (66%), second was Type II (17.3%), then Type IV (7.1%), after that Type III (5.1%), Type Iʹ(2.5%) & last was Type V (1.7%). Conclusion: The most common lip print pattern in females of Punjab, Pakistan is Type I while the least common is Type V.

“…Interestingly, fourth quadrant demonstrated highest frequency of Type II and Type Findings of present study were compared with other recent studies from different parts of India and presented in Table 4. It was observed that the most common lip patterns among males were Type IV (36%) (Rao and Kiran 2016) and Type III (34.92%) (Sharma et al 2017) and among females is Type I (39.4%) (Rao and Kiran 2016) and IV (34%) (Kumar et al 2016). In our study, combination of Type II+III (12.2 % and 16.2%) among males of both ethnic groups, for females Type III (11.4%) pattern among Bengalee Hindu group and Type II (25%) among Oraon community were the most common patterns.…”

Lip print pattern (LPP) is unique to each individual. For decades, forensic experts have used LPP for personal identification to solve criminal cases. However, studies investigating ethnic variation in LPP are scanty. Our study wanted to investigate variation in LPP between two ethnic groups, Oraon tribals and Bengalee Hindus, residing in West Bengal, India. A total of 280 participants included 112 Oraons and168 Bengalee Hindus of both. Prints were taken using dark shaded lipstick and transparent cellophane tape and recorded into white A4 sheet. Prints were divided into four quadrants and examined by magnifying glass. For analysis of results, classification of Suzuki and Tsuchihashi was followed. A p value of 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. It was observed that Type II pattern was dominant in first and second quadrants in both ethnic groups, irrespective of sex. Combination of Type II+III was found to be the most common pattern in males among both Oraons (16.2%) and Bengalee Hindus (12.2%) whereas in females Type II pattern (25.0%) among Oraons and Type III pattern among Bengalee Hindus (11.4%) was the most common. Chi square test showed statistically significant difference among females (p<0.05) and in third and fourth quadrants among males (p<0.01) of both ethnic groups. Our investigation clearly demonstrated sex and ethnic variations in LPP. Further studies are required to investigate ethnic variation in LPP among the various populations groups, both tribal as well as non-tribal, from different regions of India.

Aims and Objectives:The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare lip prints and palatal rugae pattern in Kerala, Karnataka, and Manipuri population.Materials and Methods:The study involved 180 individuals (60 each from Karnataka, Kerala, and Manipuri population). Lipstick was used to record lip prints, which were visualized by magnifying lens. Palatal rugae were recorded on maxillary casts of all subjects and analyzed following Kapali S et al.’ s classification. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20 for Windows software was used for analysis.Results:Among the study population, most frequent lip print pattern was Type 3 and least was Type 1’. When patterns were compared between groups, Type 3 was the most common in Manipuri and Kerala and Type 3 in Karnataka groups. In the entire population, males showed Type 3 and females showed Type 1. On analysis of overall rugae wavy, forward and divergence patterns were predominant. On comparison of gender, males demonstrated greater number of wavy and perpendicular rugae, and females had curved, straight, forward, and backward.Conclusion:Both cheiloscopy and rugoscopy have the prospective to recognize an individual. Cheiloscopy is more reliable than rugoscopy in making out the group and gender of an individual.
