Lip dimensions in gender identification - A novel method in children
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Lip print is the unique identification method after Fingerprint. With the help of lip print we can solve the crime cases because lip prints are more likely to be left on objects such as glass, plates, paper, cigarette butts, clothing, and the skin because saliva moisturises the lips and with the help of lip prints we can even identify the gender.
Aim: The current study aims at understanding the link between gender determination and lip dimensions.
Materials and methods: This study was conducted on the general population but the ages differs from 7 years to 20 year both male and female. Normal lipstick was used, lip print was collected in white sheet. The dimensions were measured with ruler
Results: The analysis performed in the current study clearly depicts that among the collected lip prints samples, males had larger dimensions than female lip print dimensions.
Conclusion: The study concluded that identification of both the male and female is possible with the help of lip print as male has the larger lip print compared to females.
