Sažetak
Burning mouth syndrome is an oral condition, still unsufficiently understood, which most commonly affects postmenopausal women. It manifests itself as burning, tingling or scalding sensation of tongue, lips, cheeks or throughout the mouth. One of the proposed and probable theories about BMS’ aethiopathogenesis is that the underlying cause is a peripheral and/or central neuropathy. This can be put into correlation with temporomandibular disturbances as sensorial disturbances are also known as one of the probable causes of TMD. We have evaluated the symptoms of TMD in patients with BMS.
