Abstract
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic pain condition of the oral cavity, which occurs more frequently in middle-aged women. It can be secondary to different local and systemic causes, or represent a primary condition, with no specific identifiable etiology. Its etiopathogenesis and clinical evolution are poorly understood. Therapeutic options are multi- ple and a multidisciplinary treatment is necessary. We present a review of the literature regarding BMS, to provide information relevant to our area of expertise.
