I was told by a Rheumotologist that the definitive test for Sjogrens is a lip biopsy by an oral surgeon.

@benthedog the lip biopsy can be negative in more than 30% of active Sjogren's patients according to the latest peer reviewed report sponsored by the Sjogren's Foundation. It's got the latest clinical treatment recommendations and was created by a panel of the most highly regarded experts in the field. You can find it through the SF website. Most rheumatologists haven't seen it yet.
