Burning oral sensation: when is really BMS?

Diagnózis és etiológia

Abstract

The aims and purposes of this systematic review of the international literature are to discuss and clarify some considerations
on Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). Over the last 40 years, many researchers have addressed this disease clinically
or experimentally. Thus, the etiology and pathogenesis of BMS remain unclear. We analyzed the etiopathogenesis
of Burning Mouth Syndrome and of the burning oral sensation and currently, we could not find a consensus on the diagnosis
and classification of BMS. Further studies are required to better understand the pathogenesis of BMS, and a “Gold
Standard” classification is required because not every burning sensation int he mouth is BMS.
