Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review aims to discuss burning mouth disorder (BMD) and its management and offers a guide to general dental practitioners to manage periodontal health in patients with BMD.
Recent Findings
Dental practitioners are well trained in diagnosing and treating periodontal disease; however, when periodontal disease coexists with BMD, diagnosis and management of these conditions become more complex. Personalised treatment for individual patients is prudent for long-term treatment compliance and effectiveness.
Summary
BMD is a chronic pain disorder characterised by the absence of visible mucosal lesions. It is often associated with the symptoms of burning, altered taste, and dry mouth with no obvious medical or dental cause. Diagnosis and treatment of BMD are complex and are influenced by multiple factors, which may complicate the diagnosis and treatment of especially painful periodontal disease.
