Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic condition that is characterized by burning symptoms of the oral mucosa without obvious clinical examination findings. This syndrome has complex characteristics, but its cause remains largely enigmatic, making treatment and management of patients with BMS difficult. Despite not being accompanied by evident organic changes, BMS can significantly reduce the quality of life for such patients. Therefore, it is incumbent on dental professionals to diagnose and manage patients with BMS as a part of comprehensive care.
灼口综合征(BMS)是一种慢性疾病,其特征为口腔黏膜出现灼烧症状,但临床检查无明显发现。该综合征具有复杂的特点,但其病因在很大程度上仍然不明,这使得对灼口综合征患者的治疗和管理变得困难。尽管没有明显的器质性改变,但灼口综合征会显著降低此类患者的生活质量。因此,牙科专业人员有责任将灼口综合征患者的诊断和管理作为综合护理的一部分。
