Association Between Oral and Pharyngeal Functions in Patients in Medical‐Dental Cooperation at an Acute Hospital
These results suggest that oral dryness score, oral diadochokinesis, and tongue pressure are associated with oral hypofunction and dysphagia. Additionally, patients with hypofunction and decreased tongue pressure may have hypopharyngeal residuals. The medical-dental cooperation in an acute hospital allows for the simultaneous assessment of oral and swallowing functions. This suggests a potential to contribute to the practice of safe oral intake and appropriate rehabilitation.
