Background: Identification is of importance for any crime investigation. Among several other methods, lip prints, if available, should also be evaluated to point out the relationship between the individual and the committed crimes. Lip print evaluation is known as "cheiloscopy" and important for forensic anthropologists in identification process since they are unique for each individual as fingerprints. Sex estimation is from lip print. Methods: 143 male and 291 female, a total of 434 students, were participated to the study. Lip prints were taken from each individual by using a dark colored lipstick and cellophane tape and fixed on a white sheet of paper. Lip prints were evaluated after separated into six quadrants (upper lip and lower were divided into three quadrants). The print patterns in each quadrant were classified according to Tsuchihashi method. Results: Sex estimation was done by using binary logistic regression analysis. Forked grooves both in right and left upper quadrants and reticular grooves in the upper middle quadrant were the most commonly observed lip print patterns. The lower lip forked grooves in both lateral quadrants and complete vertical grooves in the middle quadrant were the most commonly observed patterns both in males and females. Statistical analysis indicated that by binary logistic regression equations sex could be estimated with an accuracy of 72.6%. Lip prints give good predictability in determining sex, but cannot be used as the key tool in sex identification.

Personal identification in forensic investigation is not an easy process. Lip print analysis is one of the techniques that can be used to assist in human identification. This study was conducted to investigate the sex based on lip print pattern among Malaysian Malay population in Klang Valley, using photograph on lipstick-cellophane tape technique and the Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification. A total of 360 subjects (180 males and 180 females) aged 15 and above were included in this study. The lip print was taken by pressing a cellophane tape to the lipstick applied on lip, pasted it onto a plain A4 paper and then photographed using a smart phone camera (OPPO F1). The images were then analysed using Adobe Photoshop software. A lip print image were divided into six sections: upper left, upper middle, upper right, lower right, lower middle and lower left. The Pearson chi-square test showed that there are significant differences between sexes in each section except for the upper middle section. Type V (irregular pattern) was the dominant pattern for the upper left, upper right, lower right and lower left sections (ranging from 71.1% to 86.7% for males and 80.6% to 83.9% for females) while type IV (reticular pattern) was mostly found in upper middle and lower middle section. Malaysian female displayed type V as the dominant lip print pattern in every section (ranging from 39.4% to 83.9%) except upper middle section and for Malaysian male, type V dominated the lip print pattern in all section (ranging from 71.1% to 86.7%) except for the upper and lower middle section. The result of this study can be applied in assisting the human identification for forensic science investigation. ABSTRAK Identifikasi peribadi dalam penyiasatan forensik bukan satu proses yang mudah. Analisis cap bibir adalah salah satu teknik yang boleh digunakan untuk membantu identifikasi manusia. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengkaji jantina berdasarkan corak cap bibir pada setiap bahagian bibir dalam kalangan populasi Melayu Malaysia di Lembah Klang, menggunakan teknik fotografi pada gincu-pita selofan dengan merujuk kepada klasifikasi Suzuki dan Tsuchihashi. Seramai 360 subjek (180 lelaki dan 180 perempuan) berumur 15 tahun dan keatas telah terlibat dalam kajian ini. Cap bibir telah diambil dengan menekan pita selofan pada gincu di bibir, ditampal atas kertas kosong A4 dan kemudian gambar diambil menggunakan kamera telefon pintar (OPPO F1). Gambar tersebut dianalisis dengan menggunakan perisian "Adobe Photoshop". Cap bibir dibahagikan kepada enam bahagian: kiri atas, tengah atas, kanan atas, kanan bawah, tengah bawah dan kiri bawah. Ujian khi-square Pearson menyatakan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara jantina pada setiap bahagian bibir kecuali bahagian tengah atas. Jenis V (corak tidak teratur) adalah yang paling dominan dijumpai pada bahagian kiri atas, kanan atas, kanan bawah dan kiri bawah bibir (71.1% ke 86.7% untuk lelaki dan 80.6% ke 83.9% untuk perempuan) sementara jenis IV (corak retikular) kebanyakannya dijumpai pada tengah atas d...
