Background:
Various methods have been used for the identification of gender in forensic science. Gender determination can be done either by Morphological analysis or Molecular analysis.
Aim:
To establish a correlation between lip print pattern (cheiloscopy) and finger print pattern (dactyloscopy) individually within gender in determination of gender.
Methodology:
The present study was conducted in the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Career Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Lucknow, to study cheiloscopy and dactyloscopy with gender. A total of 120 individuals selected visiting the department of oral medicine OPD with ages ranging between 20 to 30 years were considered. The present study was undertaken to correlate cheiloscopy and dactyloscopy in relation to gender. Our study elucidates the significance of cheiloscopy and dactyloscopy with gender.
Results:
The present study concludes that dactyloscopy individually hold potential for gender identification but correlation of these parameters in the study that is lip print and finger print pattern did not yield any significant statistical significance.
Conclusion:
The present study thereby concludes that dactyloscopy individually holds potential for gender identification.
