Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a sensory disorder which results in constant, bilateral burning pain of the tongue, lips, and other oral mucous membranes. Atypical odontalgia (AO) is another sensory disorder, usually defined as a toothache-like pain for which no dental cause can be identified. Previous literature has suggested that AO is often associated with a concomitant temporomandibular disorder (TMD). This hypothesis paper explores the possibility that BMS, AO and TMD can be related through hyperactivity of both the sensory and motor components of the trigeminal nerve following loss of central inhibition as a result of taste damage in the chorda tympani and/or the glossopharyngeal nerves.
灼口综合征（BMS）是一种感觉障碍，可导致舌头、嘴唇和其他口腔黏膜持续双侧灼痛。非典型牙痛（AO）是另一种感觉障碍，通常被定义为找不到牙科病因的类似牙痛的疼痛。既往文献表明，AO常与颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）同时存在。本假说论文探讨了由于鼓索神经和/或舌咽神经味觉损伤导致中枢抑制丧失后，三叉神经感觉和运动成分的过度活跃可能使BMS、AO和TMD相关的可能性。
