This study was done to determine & correlate the lip print patterns in Skeletal Class I & Class II malocclusions. A sample of 160 individuals (80 skeletal Class I & 80 skeletal Class II malocclusion) aged 12 years and above, were selected for the study. A dark coloured lipstick was applied onto the cleaned & dried lips with a single stroke. A lip impression was made on a transparent cellophane tape strip which was removed & stuck to a white bond paper. Lip print patterns were analysed based on the Tsuchihashi classification i.e. Type I, Type I’, Type II, Type III, Type IV & Type V. The field of observation was confined to 10mm on either side of the quadrant from the midline and the pattern was resolved by counting highest number of lines in this area. Statistical analyses indicated that the prevalence of Type I & Type II lip pattern was significantly higher in Skeletal Class I & Class II malocclusion subjects respectively. The results showed a significant correlation between lip prints and skeletal sagittal malocclusion. Cheiloscopy can act as an early indicator of skeletal malocclusions, but further research is required for the evaluation of lip prints in a larger sample with distinctinherited malocclusions. |
