“…The finding indicated above has the potential to make significant contributions to the field of lip print pattern analysis, specifically in regard to the investigation of variances based on sex. This finding is in line with prior research conducted on people from Malaysia, Nigeria, and Mangalore [20][21][22].…”

Lip print patterns are increasingly recognized as a vital resource within forensic investigations, providing a distinctive means for identifying individuals. This extensive investigation examines the detectability, possibility for sex distinction and forensic consequences of lip print patterns. Through both direct visualization and scoring procedures, a comprehensive examination was undertaken to analyze the intricate patterns of lip prints exhibited by male and female participants in Indonesia. The results of our study provide clear evidence for the infrequency of similar lip print patterns among individuals, confirming previous research conducted by Suzuki and Tsuchihashi. It is worth mentioning that type II lip print type was the prevailing type in Indonesian males and females. Furthermore, noticeable variances based on sex were seen in the upper left (UL) and lower middle (LM) quadrants. This research emphasizes the crucial significance of lip prints in criminal investigations, emphasizing their wide range of uses and relevance in diverse forensic contexts. The distinctiveness, singular nature, consistency, genetic transmission, and wide range of lip lines establish them as dependable means for personal identification. Lip print analysis has promise as a prospective means of scientific validation in forthcoming legal procedures, with the capacity to augment forensic methodologies and offer valuable contributions to the judicial process. The results reported in this study provide a foundation for creating a comprehensive set of criteria for assessing the lip line, which can serve as a valuable tool for the progression of forensic science and the pursuit of justice.

“…Moreover, the Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification system tends to be didactic, meaning it offers broad categorizations that may not fully capture the nuanced variations present in lip prints. While it can be useful as a basic framework for understanding lip print patterns, it may fall short when attempting to provide detailed or comprehensive analysis because of the primary challenges lies in the fact that lip prints can exhibit a variety of patterns within the same area [15].…”

Background: The aim of this experimental work was to confirm the individual uniqueness of lip prints, to verify the presence of recurrent patterns according to the Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification and to search for characteristics that can be used in establishing the sex of a subject. Methods: Lip prints were taken from a sample of 172 volunteers using liquid lipstick and transparent adhesive tape and were digitally analyzed. Results: 59 prints (35.3%) were not considered for Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification due to quality errors and the impossibility of visualizing lip wrinkles in one or more sextants, all the digitized prints revealed themselves to be unique after having been analyzed using superimposition. Qualitatively valid prints indicated a prevalence of Type II in both male and female and the presence of sex-linked features. A major problem was that the analysis of the same print by different operators often resulted in a different attribution of a Type. Conclusions: The potential of cheiloscopy lies mainly in the matching of prints, given their uniqueness, and can be a valid tool in gender determination but the absence of a database greatly limits its use. It is necessary to establish an acquisition protocol for taking and analyzing prints that could reduce the errors committed by the operator.

“…The use of cellophane and lipsticks to record lip prints, followed by scanning and digitalization, is a common method in forensic sciences and biometrics, as demonstrated in several studies [5][6][7]. However, there is limited research on lip prints recorded directly through digital photography.…”

Background: Direct digital photography for lip print recording is a recent trend, and there is a dearth of systematic research on the analysis of the recorded prints with existing clip print classification systems.Aims and objectives: This study aims to compare the accuracy of the digital photographic method in lip print recording, comparing it with traditional methods, and assessing the suitability of commonly used lip print classification for analyzing lip prints recorded by photographic method.Methodology: A total of 72 participants aged between 20 and 26 were included. The lip print recording process involved photographing the lips without and with lipstick, followed by recording the lip print with cellophane tape on bond paper. The prints collected using the different methods were analyzed and compared for agreement, and the data were analyzed statistically.Results: Inter-observer reliability was high for all methods (>0.800). The distribution of lip print patterns differed across the methods, suggesting a potential influence of the recording technique. The agreement between the conventional method and both digital methods was moderate (kappa=0.449-0.517). The agreement between digital methods with and without enhancement was also moderate (kappa=0.718). Notably, digital photographs with enhancement tend to have a higher positive agreement for several lip print types.Conclusion: Digital photography is a potential method for lip print recording. However, this study highlights the need for the calibration of lip print classification systems for digitally recorded lip prints. Further research is needed to refine the use of digital photography in forensic lip print analysis and to explore its integration with artificial intelligence for biometric identification.
