Abstract: Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) often presents a significant challenge for patients and clinicians. Patients experience persistent oral pain without objective clinical signs, complicating the diagnosis of this condition. To address this challenge, practitioners must develop a comprehensive understanding of BMS to recognize, manage, and treat patients with this complex condition. Results: A thorough patient evaluation should integrate findings from general clinical examination, psychiatric/psychological assessments, neurological evaluations, and local dental examination to provide a holistic view of the patient’s condition. Conclusion: This article provides an updated overview of therapeutic strategies for managing BMS. Successful treatment requires familiarity with the latest therapeutic options and a multidisciplinary approach to BMS cases.
