A study was carried out to assess and evaluate the accuracy of cheiloscopy, pulp tissue, and fingerprints in determining gender.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A study comprising of 160 individuals (80 males and 80 females) was conducted. After obtaining informed written consent and recording their bio-data; lip prints, and fingerprints were recorded. The patients\u2019 extracted tooth was collected, their pulp extirpated, for assessment of the Barr body.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found that every lip pattern was unique and hence can be used to identify an unknown individual. The occurrence of the Barr body was determined, and all female samples were found to be positive for the existence of the Barr body. In fingerprint patterns, a significant difference was noted between both sexes with ulnar loops and whorl patterns only. A highly significant difference was observed in the fingerprint ridge density between genders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conclude that the Barr body in pulpal tissue can be considered as the best possible technique for gender determination within the dental tissues. Lip prints did not show any differences in genders and had no role to play in gender determination. Fingerprint ridge density can also be used to determine gender.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_178_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]],"date-time":"2024-09-06T19:52:53Z","timestamp":1725652373000},"page":"585-591","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparative analysis of cheiloscopy, pulpal tissue and fingerprint for gender identification"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Anjali","family":"Nayak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Surendera Dental College and Research Institute, Sriganganagar, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meghanand T.","family":"Nayak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Microbiology, Surendera Dental College and Research Institute, Sriganganagar, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jitender","family":"Solanki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Rajasthan Dental College and Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hemant","family":"Mathur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Pacific Dental College and Hospital, Debari, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Apurva","family":"Srivastava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Sardar Patel Post Graduate Institute of Dental and Medical Sciences, Lucknow, UP, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Apoorva","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Maharana Pratap Dental College, Mandhana, Kanpur, UP, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240906","article-title":"Person Identification by Means of Teeth","author":"Keiser-Neilsen","year":"1980","journal-title":"Bristol:John Wright and Sons"},{"key":"R2-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1016\/j.forsciint.2004.05.013","article-title":"Preliminary study of post mortem identification using lip prints","volume":"149","author":"Utsuno","year":"2005","journal-title":"Forensic Sci Int"},{"key":"R3-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.forsciint.2006.04.010","article-title":"Establishing identity using cheiloscopy and palatoscopy","volume":"165","author":"Caldas","year":"2007","journal-title":"Forensic Sci Int"},{"key":"R4-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jflm.2011.02.005","article-title":"DNA profiling and forensic dentistry \u2013A review of the recent concepts and trends","volume":"18","author":"Manjunath","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Forensic Leg Med"},{"key":"R5-20240906","first-page":"234","article-title":"Lip prints (cheiloscopy)","volume":"12","author":"Sivapathasundharam","year":"2001","journal-title":"Ind J Dent Res"},{"key":"R6-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1080\/00085030.1971.10757287","article-title":"A new attempt of personal identification by means of lip print","volume":"4","author":"Suzuki","year":"1971","journal-title":"Can Soc Forensic Sci J"},{"key":"R7-20240906","article-title":"Dactiloscop\u00eda Comparada (Comparative Fingerprinting):The New Argentine System;1904","author":"Vucetich","year":"1954","journal-title":"(Translation for FBI Laboratories by Patrick J.
