Context (Background): Lips prints are unique and are a tool for personal identification.
Indian population can be divided into different ethno-racial groups. In this study, we aimed at finding the most and the least prevalent lip print patterns in these groups and also to observe any similarities or differences that may exist in these groups in terms of lip print patterns.
Lip prints in 755 individuals categorized into different ethno-racial groups were studied.
Brown- and pink-colored lipsticks, cellophane tape, and magnifying lens were used to record and study the lip prints.
Among all the three ethno-racial groups, Type I was the most prevalent lip print pattern observed. The least prevalent lip print pattern in all the three groups was Type IV. Inference/Conclusion: Lip prints hold potential as supplementary tools for identification where they can be recorded with ease. The observation and classification of lip print patterns in different ethno-racial groups not only provide some useful data but also open a new window to a field that can contribute extensively to criminal investigation and identification.
背景：唇纹是独特的，是个人识别的一种工具。
印度人口可分为不同的种族群体。在本研究中，我们旨在找出这些群体中最常见和最不常见的唇纹模式，并观察这些群体在唇纹模式方面可能存在的任何异同。
对755名被归类为不同种族群体的个体的唇纹进行了研究。
使用棕色和粉色口红、玻璃纸胶带和放大镜来记录和研究唇纹。
在所有三个种族群体中，I型是观察到的最常见的唇纹模式。所有三个群体中最不常见的唇纹模式是IV型。推断/结论：唇纹作为一种易于记录的补充识别工具具有潜力。对不同种族群体唇纹模式的观察和分类不仅提供了一些有用的数据，还为一个能对刑事调查和识别做出广泛贡献的领域打开了一扇新窗口。
