Abstract

 

Aim: To establish the uniqueness of lip prints for personal identification & to find the reference of the technique in family inheritance.
Objective: Use & reliability of lip prints in personal identification and family inheritance.
Hypothesis: Not applicable observational study.
Material and Method: The research will be conducted on around 100 students (50 males and 50 females) in Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil Foundation’s medical college. The people with congenital lesions, lip surgery or hypersensitivity to lipsticks will be excluded. The method of making lip prints will be noninvasive using simple materials like dark colored lipsticks, cellotapes and a magnifying glass.
Result: The uniqueness of lip prints as personal identification tool is proved by statistically analysing the data obtained from all the lip types some evidences of family inheritance can also be proven.
Conclusion: The inference of the study is lip prints are unique and permanent for an individual. Also lip prints have different patterns based on the grooves. Hence Cheiloscopy can be deterministic tool in personal identification
