Sažetak
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) represents oral pain disorder without an apparent lesion of oral mucosa. Despite the large number of proposed etiologic factors, genesis of BMS still remains unclear. The aim of this investigation was to establish the oral mucosal sensibility pattern to galvanic stimulation and to investigate its possible ateration in BMS patients. Galvanic current stimulation for measuring oral sensory thresholds was found to be suitable and reproducible method. The discovered hyperreactivity in the perception of nociceptive electrical stimuli applied on both symptom-involved and uninvolved oral regions indicates the presence of alterations of somatosensory function in BMS.
