    Purpose:

    • To elucidate the primary etiology of glossodynia.
    • To differentiate between common and rare causes of burning tongue.
    • To guide appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

    Summary:

    • The major cause of glossodynia is latent depression and other psychological disturbances.
    • Local oral changes and systemic diseases are infrequent causes.
    • Treatment must be etiological, targeting the underlying psychological factors.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of psychological assessment in diagnosing glossodynia.
    • Discourages empirical treatments like vitamin supplementation without proven deficiency.
    • Promotes a more accurate and effective management approach for burning tongue syndrome.
