| Summary: | Introduction: The imprint produced by the lip is termed as
‘lip print’ and the name given to the examination of lip print is
referred to as cheiloscopy.
Aim: The present study was done to compare the efficacy of
three different materials used in cheiloscopy – Sudan III, Indigo
and Aluminium powder.
Material and Methods: A total of 60 individuals belonging
to the age group of 18-25 years were included in this study.
Visible and latent lip prints were reproduced on white cotton
fabric, white satin fabric and white clay cup. The results were
statistically analysed using chi square test.
Results: Sudan III dye and Aluminium powder showed
significant results when used for the development of visible
lip prints (p<0.05), but didn’t give any significant results for
development of latent lip prints. Indigo dye gave significant
results for development of both visible and latent lip prints
(p<0.05).
Conclusion: The study reveals the usefulness of visible and
latent lip print in individual identification. |
