title: The cause and management of burning mouth condition.
abstract: This paper reviews the clinical presentation and many causes of burning mouth condition. A diagnostic approach and some management procedures that include eliminating all oral irritants, correcting predisposing systemic disease, and most important of all, allaying anxiety that induces parafunctional mouth habits. The term "burning mouth condition" (BMC) is considered more appropriate than the word "syndrome" for this common and troublesome complaint.
