Forensic dentistry represents an overlap between the dental and the legal professions. It plays a major role in the person identification. Several structures of human body abetted with various methods do exist for forensic evaluation. Lip prints play a vital role in transfer of evidence and are considered similar to finger prints in forensic and personal identification. We conducted this study to ascertain the prevalence of different blood groups in different lip patterns and to identify gender on the basis of lip print patterns to find a co- relation between lip prints with blood groups which can further help out in forensic identification.
