Biochemical Salivary Analysis in Patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome
Burning mouth syndrome [BMS] is an enigmatic condition characterized by burning symptoms in the oral cavity. Authors suggested that changes in the salivary flow rate and composition might influence BMS. In 20 patients with BMS [62±12.9yrs] and in 24 controls [24±3.7yrs] we have determined levels of salivary magnesium, calcium, copper, chloride, phosphate, potassium and sodium. Sodium, potasium and chloride were determined by indirect potentiometry, copper was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, whereas magnesium and phosphate were determined by spectrophotometric method. Total proteins were determined by pyrogalol colorimetric method. Amylase levels were determined by continued colorimetric method. Statistical analysis was performed by use of χ2 test and Spearman´s correlation test. The results of this study indicate that there were no differences between patients with BMS and controls regarding investigated salivary analytes. Therefore, it seems that investigated salivary analytes do not play a role in the BMS.
