Abstract

Background: The concept of lip prints is clear from previous literature review that this evidence can be used for
forensic purpose. While accepting that a body of data existed regarding the individuality of lip pattern, there is no
credible research on the stability of the lip detail over time. The timescale in question could be measured in weeks
and months or years. The former would be used in police investigations and the latter can be used by geneticist.
