Salivary Viscosity as a Non‐Invasive Candidate Biomarker Associated With Aspiration Risk in Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy exhibit disease‐specific salivary hyperviscosity that tracks with dysphagia severity and airway invasion. Non‐invasive chairside screening of salivary viscosity may enable clinicians to stratify aspiration risk during routine care to prevent severe pulmonary complications.
