Burning Mouth Syndrome and its Relation to Disorders of Orofacial Pain

Abstract

An Individual is termed to have “burning mouth syndrome” if they have burning sensations in the tongue or other oral mucous membranes, but they do not exhibit any other symptoms or abnormalities in the laboratory findings (BMS). This strategy is now being called into question since it is seen to be very restricted; it has been reported that BMS may develop in conjunction with other oral conditions. BMS might be related to disorders of orofacial pain like temporomandibular disorder (TMD), atypical odontalgia (AO) and sensory dysesthesia.
