Abstract

Burning Mouth Syndrome is a burning sensation or stinging disorder of oral mucosa, in the absence of visible mucosal lesions. The role of contact hypersensitivity does not seem to be of primary importance, even if there are several reports about the allergic etiology, in particular in denture wearing. Metals used in denture prothesis are the most common substance reported as cause of hypersensitivity in Burning Mouth Syndrome, together with acrylate monomer, additives and flavouring agents. It's possible to take into account that a previous event of the Burning Mouth Syndrome, that couldn't be clinically tested, acted at the level of peripheral nervous system causing a more or less signification alteration in the unmyelinated fibres (C Type), responsible for the burning. According to this introduction, it has been carried out a clinical survey on a group o patients suffering from Burning Mouth Syndrome. Patch test was used during the investigative procedure together with other diagnostic method. The diagnosis showed that the patients suffering from Burning Mouth Syndrome were 161. 70 presented a case history of hypersensitivity to any change in conditions. In a disease whose origin is essentially immuno-reactive, it becomes necessary to identify the possible presence of an allergen, or the presence of one or more hypersensitizing substances that caused series of assumptions that weakened the unmyelinated nervoury fibres (C Type) or created an intrinsic metabolism of these fibres, leading to, in the case that a medical evidence or a clinical-objective checking fails, the chronic burning.
