Description

Endless ink and pixel space have been spent to validate the use of cheiloscopy classification systems in the field of identification. It is becoming evident that lip-print patterns may provide indications about an individual's gender, race, occupation, habits, blood type, and paternity. Over the course of time, much data has been collected on a substantial population in this field. In the present study, we strive to see how well a noble total lip scoring system (TLS) works in identifying a person's gender among College of Dentistry students. We also quantified the total groove score (TGS) and compared it with each quadrant for better authentication of the set study design.
