FOLIC ACID AND VITAMIN B12 LEVELS IN BULGARIAN PATIENTS WITH BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME.
Journal Title: Journal of IMAB - Annual Proceeding (Scientific Papers) - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
Actually the burning mouth syndrome (BMS) can be classified as idiopathic and secondary. The deficiency of vitamins (especially the group B) can be involved in BMS. In a group of 92 consecutive Bulgarian patients without oral lesions, excessive gingivitis and parodontitis or abscess, 63 patients had lower level of folic acid in serum (68%). The serum levels of vitamin B12 were lower in 17,5% and microbes were found in 10%. The study revealed that the most frequent abnormality in Bulgarian BMS patients was the folate deficiency followed by the lower level of cobalamin and oral candidiasis. These high rates of deficiency suggest a long term folic acid supplementation.
