Brief Summary  
 Lip-prints are unique to an individual just like the fingerprints and shows strong hereditary pattern . Therefore this study is designed to explore correlation of lip-prints with skeletal base relationship and if possible, to establish lip-prints as relevant diagnostic tool.  This study aims to establish an association  between lip patterns and various malocclusions in  South Kerala population through a cross sectional study. Lip prints are recorded using maybelline lipstick , lip brush and cellophane paper  and examined with magnifying lens. it is compared with Tsuchihashi classification of lip prints. Samples are  divided equally  into Skeletal CLASS I,Class II Div 1 nd Div 2, Class III based on ANB angle and the association between lip prints and skeletal malocclusion can be compared.
