Introduction
• Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is typically
described by the patients as a burning
sensation of the oral mucosa
absence of clinically apparent mucosal
alterations
• Overall prevalence ranging from 0.7% to 7%
• Prevalence up to 12% to 18% for postmenopausal women with BMS
• BMS often affects the tongue (particularly the
tip and lateral borders), lips, and hard and soft
palate
• Unremitting oral mucosal pain, dysgeusia, and
xerostomia
Diagnostic criteria
• Oral burning or pain
Unremitting for at least 4–6 months
Continuous throughout almost all the day
Seldom interferes with sleep and never
worsens
May be relieved, by eating and drinking
• Other oral symptoms:
Dysgeusia
Xerostomia
Presence of sensory/chemo-sensory
anomalies
Mood changes
Disruptions in patient personality traits
• Can not have any signs of oral mucosal
pathology !!
• Detailed review of patient’s medical and
dental histories
• Careful analysis of data obtained from physical
and laboratory examinations
Classification and subtypes
Lopez-Jorne et al 
Type 1 BMS:
• Pain-free waking  gradually increasing 
reaching its peak intensity by evening
• 35%
• Linked to systemic disorders such as
nutritional deficiency, diabetes mellitus
Type 2 BMS:
• Continuous symptoms throughout the day
• 55%
• Usually associated with psychological
disorders
Type 3 BMS:
• Intermittent symptoms
• 10%
• Show allergic reactions
• Scala et al. classified BMS into 2 clinical forms

1. Primary BMS:
a. Essential or idiopathic
b. Peripheral and central neuropathological
pathways are involved
2. Secondary BMS:
a. Caused by local, systemic or psychological
factors
Primary BMS
• 1st subgroup:
Peripheral small-diameter fiber neuropathy of
intraoral mucosa (50–65%)
• 2nd subgroup:
Subclinical lingual, mandibular, or trigeminal
system pathology (20–25%)
• 3rd subgroup:
Hypofunction of dopaminergic neurons in the
basal ganglia (20–40%)
• Lauria et al  Significantly lower density of
epithelial nerve fibers in patients with BMS
than in control subjects
• Just et al  Patients with BMS exhibit a
decreased somatosensory and gustatory
perception
• Albuquerque et al  Patients with BMS had
less volumetric activation throughout the
entire brain
Secondary BMS
• Local factors: poorly fitting prostheses,
parafunctional habits, dental anomalies, allergic
reactions, infection, chemical factors, galvanism,
taste alterations, and xerostomia
• Systemic factors: endocrine alterations
(hypothyroidism, diabetes, and menopause), vitamin
B complex, iron and zinc deficiencies, anemia,
gastrointestinal anomalies, medication, Sjogren’s
syndrome, and esophageal reflux
• Psychological factors: anxiety, depression,
compulsive disorders, psychosocial stress, and
cancerphobia
• Netto et al
Significant association of the presence of
gastrointestinal diseases and urogenital
diseases with BMS
Significant correlation between the intake of
H-2 receptor antagonist or proton-pump
inhibitor and BMS
• Gao et al
87(BMS) and 82
No statistical difference in blood analyses
(including white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin (Hb), and
platelet count )
between the BMS and control groups
Significantly higher serum follicle-stimulating
hormone level and a significantly lower serum
estradiol level in the menopausal or postmenopausal women with BMS
Anxiety and depression scores in patients with
BMS are higher
Habit of tongue thrusting, lip sucking,
periodontitis, smoking, outcome of recent
medication, and depression are the principal
risk factors for the BMS
• Lin et al
Patients with BMS had a significantly higher
frequency of Hb, iron, or vitamin B12
deficiency
Abnormally elevated blood homocysteine
level
Serum GPCA (gastric parietal cell antibody) positivity
• Boras et al
Significantly lower serum neurokinin A is
found in patients with BMS
Indicating an inefficient dopaminergic system
in patients with BMS
• Pekiner et al
Significantly lower serum IL-2 and TNF-a levels
in patients with BMS
Significantly lower mean salivary Mg level in
patients with BMS
• Maragou and Ivanyi, Cho et al
Significantly lower mean serum zinc level in
patients with BMS
• Pokupec-Gruden et al
Anxiety and depression are most common in
patients with BMS
General consideration for
treatment of BMS
• Detailed review of patient’s medical and
dental histories and a careful analysis of
patient’s data
setting up a therapeutic regimen
• Treatment or elimination of these factors
(local, systemic, psychological) usually results
in a significant clinical improvement
• If patients still have the symptoms  drug
therapy should be instituted
• The custom-made or combination therapy for
each patient with BMS
 the greatest benefit to the patient and
lessen the treatment duration

Vitamin supplement treatment
• Sun et al
• Vitamin BC capsules plus relatively high doses
of corresponding deficient hematinics
 a. reduce the abnormally higher mean serum
homocysteine levels
b. raise the corresponding lower mean deficient
hematinic and Hb levels

• Evaluated the serum zinc level in 276 patients
with BMS
• Zinc replacement therapy in BMS patients
with zinc deficiency is effective

• Epstein and Marcoe
• Gremeau-Richard et al
• Peripheral nervous system dysfunctions in patients
with BMS
• Sardella et al
• Lopez-Jornet et al
• Topical Aloe vera has been shown to promote
the healing process in the treatment of burns,
psoriasis, and oral lichen planus

Systemic drug treatment
• Petruzzi et al
• Its use is not recommended for extended treatment
• Grushka et al
• Heckmann et al
• Ko et al
• Investigated outcome predictors of clonazepam
therapy
• Amos et al
• Combined topical and systemic clonazepam
administration is an effective regimen for treatment
of BMS
• Femiano et al
• Antioxidant mitochondrial coenzyme
neuroprotective effect
• Marino et al
• prolonged therapy in chronically affected patients
with BMS is needed for maintaining a more
permanent effect
• Maina et al
• No serious adverse effects are referred in any of the
three groups
• Rodriguez-Cerdeira and Sanchez-Blanco
• Amisulpride seems to be effective and well tolerated
• Yamazaki et al
• A tricyclic antidepressant
• The side effects are minor and transient and no
serious safety issues are observed
• Bergdahl et al
Summary
• BMS is probably of multifactorial origin and
may be idiopathic
• Clinicians should first try to identify the
precise causative factors for the BMS
• If patients still have the symptoms after the
removal of potential causes, drug therapy
should be instituted
• Previous clinical trials have found that drug
therapy with capsaicin, alpha-lipoic acid,
clonazepam, and antidepressants
 relief of oral burning or pain symptom
• Psychotherapy and behavioral feedback may
also help eliminate the BMS symptoms
