        abstract = {Forensic dentistry represents an overlap between dental and legal profession. It plays a major role in the person identification. Several structures of human body abetted with various methods do exist for forensic evaluation. Lip print plays a vital role in transfer of evidence and are considered similar to fingerprints in forensic and personal identification. This study was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of different blood groups in different lip patterns and to identify gender on the basis of lip prints to find a correlation between lip prints with blood group which can further help out in forensic identification. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 participants (25 male and 25 female), aged between 18-25 years, to determine the correlation between lip print types and blood groups. Lip print was analyzed using Tsuchihashi classification and associated blood group matching were performed. The results reveals that the study does not show a correlation between lip print pattern and blood group among males and females. Further study should be conduct to validate the results. Since lip print and blood group are unique for a person, chieloscopy along with blood group can play a vital role in person identification.},
