Lip prints or the arrangement of lines or grooves on human lips are stable, unique to each individual and do not change despite age. So the analysis of lip prints can be used as one of the evidence for identification purposes. Objective to identify the lip print patterns of tribes in Aceh Indonesia. The samples used were lip prints taken on each of 100 people per tribe (N-300) with the age of 25-35 years obtained from various regions in Aceh. Lip print samples were taken using the Suzuki and Tsucihachi techniques, then stored on a folder file, and brought to the Faculty of Dentistry Laboratory, Syiah Kuala University for computerization and analysis. In determining the types, the lips are divided into four quadrants and numbered 1-4 in clockwise order starting from the upper right corner of the lips. To get the characteristics of each character is done with ANOVA, while to determine the relationship of each character is done with Pearson analysis. The Gayo tribe has a type II lip print pattern with the most number of grooves found in quadrant 2, namely 139 grooves. The Aceh tribe has a type II lip print and has 208 grooves that are mostly found in quadrant 1. The Malay tribe has the highest number of grooves for type IV, namely 143 which dominates quadrant 2. The mixed Gayo tribe has a type I' lip print with 54 grooves. The mixed Aceh tribe has type II lip prints that dominate quadrant 3 with as many as 200 with varying sizes. The mixed Malay tribe has a type II lip print that dominates quadrant 4 and has 93 grooves. Overall, except for the Mixed Gayo Tribe and the Malay Tribe, the lip prints of indigenous and mixed tribes in Aceh showed a predominance of Type II. Lip prints are known to have differences within the same tribe and sub-tribe, indicating lip prints could potentially be used for individual identification. © (2023), (University of Dicle).
