Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Pain Management
  • Psychodermatology

Background:

  • Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a complex oral disorder characterized by a burning sensation in the oral mucosa.
  • It commonly affects middle-aged and elderly women, often impacting the tongue, lips, and palate.
  • The etiopathogenesis of BMS is largely unknown, suggesting a multifactorial origin.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) and its clinical characteristics.
  • To explore the potential causes and classifications of BMS.
  • To outline effective management strategies for BMS symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on the clinical presentation and classification of BMS.
  • Analysis of the multifactorial origins and idiopathic nature of the condition.
  • Discussion of treatment modalities including multidisciplinary care and psychotherapy.

Main Results:

  • BMS presents as a burning sensation without physical oral changes.
  • Two main clinical forms, primary and secondary BMS, are identified.
  • Symptom control is achieved through a combination of approaches.

Conclusions:

  • BMS is a complex condition requiring a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.
  • Psychotherapy and behavioral feedback are valuable adjuncts in managing BMS.
  • Further research into the etiopathogenesis of BMS is warranted.
