Abstract
Purpose: Because there are a large number of reports suggesting that burning mouth syndrome has a strong psychogenic component. any objective evidence found of taste dysfunction in BMS would suggest that there may be an organic basis to the altered sensations reported for BMS subjects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate taste function in subjects diagnosed as having BMS in order to determine if there is an organic/neurologic component in the etiology of BMS.
Materials and Methods: The study involved 12 BMS subjects (mean age SD 61.25+7.41 years: 10 females, 2 miles) presenting to the Kyungpook National University Hospital. Department of Oral Medicine with a chief complaint of burning mouth. In addition, l0 control subjects were also examined. Taste detection thresholds for the taste modalities of sweet, salt, sour, and bitter were obtained in control and BMS subjects with a forced-choice tracking procedure using serial solutions of sucrose, sodium chloride, citric acid, and quinine hydrochloride.
Results: Compared with control subjects, BMS subjects as a whole displayed higher taste detection threshold for sucrose, citric acid, and quinine HCI. The difference was more prominent in sucrose and citric acid.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that psychophysical changes in taste perception may be involved in the occurrence of sensory complaints reported by BMS subjects
