Topical application in burning mouth syndrome

摘要

Intraoral and perioral burning sensations may be sequelae of burning mouth syndrome (BMSD) or burning mouth symptoms (BMSP), which present a diagnostic challenge. The aims of the study were to evaluate the efficacy of a topical anesthetic as a diagnostic test to differentiate BMSD from BMSP and to assess the comorbidities and responses to various pharmacologic treatments in BMSD and BMSP patients.
