AbstractIntroduction: Lip prints, like fingerprints, are unique to each person and are simple to record. Cheiloscopic analysis has been demonstrated to be effective in both judging deformity and identifying individuals. Many studies have been conducted on lip prints and its relationship with individual’s skeletal pattern. Aim: The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between lip print and skeletal malocclusion, as well as how reliable it was as a forensic tool for identifying people. Material & Method: Lip prints were collected from 180 people, 60 of whom were from Kerala, 60 from Karnataka, and 60 from Kodagu, regardless of their dental class I, class II, or class III malocclusion. Lip prints were captured using the lipstick cellophane method and categorised using Tsuchihashi’s categorization system: Type I, Type I’, Type II, Type III, Type IV, Type V. Results: We have noticed that the most common lip pattern among Karnataka and Coorg Population was type II and in Kerala population was type I. Conclusion: We conclude our research by stating that lip prints are a useful and important diagnostic tool for identifying individuals of various ethnic backgrounds, and that there is a strong correlation between skeletal growth patterns of various ethnicities and their lip patterns. .keywords | Cheiloscopy; Lip prints; Skeletal malocclusion; Forensic too
