Cheiloscopy deals with the study of elevations and depressions which form a characteristic pattern on the external surface of the lips. Lip grooves are considered to be unique and analogous to the fingerprint. The aim of the research was to determine the type of grooves on healthy lips of men and women using lip prints in a sample of Croatian population, to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between men and women in the types of grooves and to determine whether there are any differences between male and female lip prints.
A randomly selected sample of Croatian population consisted of 40 male and 50 female subjects. The samples of lip grooves were classified according to Tsuchihashi classification.
The research has shown that most women in Croatia belong to Type 2 (40.0%), followed by Type 1 (34.0%), Type 3 (12.0%), Type 4 (8.0%), and Type 5 (6.0%) which is of less importance. Most Croatian men belong to Type 3 (35.0%) and Type 2 (25.0%). A small number of men belong to Type 4 (15.0%), Type 5 (12.5%) and Type1 (12.5%).
There was a statistically significant difference between men and women regarding the types of lip grooves.
唇纹学研究的是在嘴唇外表面形成特征图案的隆起和凹陷。唇沟被认为是独特的，类似于指纹。本研究的目的是在克罗地亚人群样本中，通过唇纹确定男性和女性健康嘴唇上的沟纹类型，确定男性和女性在沟纹类型上是否存在统计学上的显著差异，并确定男女唇纹之间是否存在差异。
随机抽取的克罗地亚人群样本包括40名男性和50名女性受试者。唇沟样本根据土桥分类法进行分类。
研究表明，克罗地亚的大多数女性属于2型（40.0%），其次是1型（34.0%）、3型（12.0%）、4型（8.0%）和5型（6.0%），5型相对不太重要。大多数克罗地亚男性属于3型（35.0%）和2型（25.0%）。少数男性属于4型（15.0%）、5型（12.5%）和1型（12.5%）。
男性和女性在唇沟类型上存在统计学上的显著差异。
