Burning Mouth Syndrome- A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The term 'burning mouth syndrome' (BMS) refers to a chronic oral burning pain, diagnosed in the absence of any visible mucosal abnormality or other organic disease. The challenge is the initial recognition of the condition by clinicians. The second challenge is that psychogenic factors are a probable cause in the majority of cases and the complexities of such morbidity represents an area in which many clinicians do not have a comfortable awareness. BMS therefore presents as an idiopathic condition distinct from the symptom of oral burning that can potentially arise from various local/systemic pathologies and these must be excluded prior to its diagnosis. Within this later group are precipitating factors including nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes associated with menopause, local oral infections, denture-related lesions, Xerostomia, hypersensitivity reactions, medications and a number of systemic conditions including diabetes mellitus. Many systemic and local disorders can cause a burning sensation localized at the oral mucosa, but 'true' idiopathic. This article focuses on review of burning mouth syndrome.
