Lip print: The science under which lip prints study referred as Cheiloscopy. Establishing a person’s identity is a very important process in civil and criminal cases. . Lip prints help in personal identification and criminal investigation is very much important as his evidence would be very much useful in law and justice. Dental identification, fingerprint and DNA comparisons are probably the m...

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on lip strength and closure function of patients with dysphagia after stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Eight patients with dysphagia were recruited. NMES was applied to the orbicularis oris muscle. All the participants received NMES for 30 min/d, 5 d/wk, for 4 weeks. Lip strength was measured using...

Background and aim: Mental nerve injury is one of the challenges of implant surgeries in the anterior mandibular region, which leads to complications such as paresthesia of the lip and chin. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve's (IAN) anterior loop and mandibular incisive canal by use of  CBCT. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive stud...

The lips are regarded as a paired organ for audiovisual speech communication that modulates speech sound and facial shape together in speech production. Despite the long research, the mechanism of lip protrusion is still an open question. This study aims at exploring physiological mechanisms of lip protrusion based on muscle visualization and finite element simulation of lower lip deformation. ...

This paper addresses the problem of lip segmentation in color space that is a crucial issue to a successful lip-reading system. We present a new segmentation approach to lip contour extraction by taking account of the maximum a posterior Markov random field (MAPMRF) framework. We first examine various color models and select a simple color transform derived from LUX and 1976 CIELAB color space ...

introduction: anthropometry (morphometry of the human) is measurement of linear and angular dimensions of the human body. since the anthropometric parameters which are based on age, sex, geographical location and ethnic characteristics of the human species are different, therefore, anthropometric studies of population by age and sex should be done separately. methods: in this study, anthropomet...
