An aid for
personal
identification
Cheiloscopy is a forensic investigation technique that
deals with identification of humans based on lip prints.
In the case when the lines are not clear (only the shape of the lips
is printed), individual identification of a human being based on
this trace is extremely difficult (unless the trace contains more
individual characteristics, e.g. scars), and often identification ends
with group identification.
Apart from identifying and evidential use, lip prints may also be
used in detection work, being the source of tactical and
criminalistic information.
