Introduction: The study of human identification is of great value in forensic medicine. Lip patterns have unique nature and individualism so can be used for human identification. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of Type II lip print patterns among medical students in a medical college.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a medical college from 5 March 2022 to 1 April 2022 after ethical approval from the Institution Review Committee (Reference number: 057-078/079). The lip print pattern was categorized according to Tsuchihanshi’s classification. Convenience sampling was done. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Among 100 medical students, the Type II lip pattern was seen in 26 (26%) (17.40-34.60, 95% Confidence Interval) students. The largest number of participants was seen in 21 (80.76%) from the
age group of 20-25 years.
Conclusions: The prevalence of Type II lip pattern among medical students was similar to other studies done in similar settings.
