Abstract

Burning mouth syndrome(BMS) is a burning sensation in the oral mucosa and $doesn^{\circ}$Øt have any identifiable oral lesion and organic etiology. Diagnosis of BMS is mainly based on clinical features and serial exclusion of other possible causes. There is no specific examination for BMS and that could embarrasse the dentist. In this study, the characteristics, differential diagnosis and several treatments of BMS are presented so that dentists can better diagnose BMS to maintain a good relationship with the patients.
