To compare the dynamic viscosity (DV) of superficial layer of temporalis fascia (SLTF) with that of other biological tissues traditionally used for vocal fold implants to treat vocal fold rigidity. Study Design. Experimental. Method. Measurement of DV of samples of SLTF, deep layer of temporalis fascia (DLTF), and abdominal fat of 12 cadavers. Results. DV values of the different samples were presented in the following increasing order: SLTF, DLTF, and abdominal fat. There was statistical difference between the samples. Conclusion. DV of SLTF is lower than of other tissues tested.engrestrictedAccessLarynxVocal foldRheologyViscosityRheometerTemporalis fasciaAbdominal fatviscoelastic shear propertiestissuesaugmentationbiomaterialsinjectablesmethodologyfrequenciesmucosaarticleCopyright MOSBY-ELSEVIER10.1016/j.jvoice.2011.03.008Otorhinolaryngology
