Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is occasionally accompanied by denture intolerance. CASE PRESENTATION: An 80-year-old woman with complaints of residual and relapsed intraoral pain and denture intolerance due to BMS was improved by olanzapine without severe adverse events, and her eating ability was successfully restored. CONCLUSION: This case suggests that olanzapine may be an optional treatment for denture intolerance as well as BMS pain in older adult patients.
