[Glossodynia].
Glossodynias are a build up of painful lingual syndromes with neither a detectable visible lesion, nor of a known organic origin. An obvious discordance between the subjective feelings and the weakness, even absence of an objective lesion support able to explain them, can be observed. Being often considered by physicians to be of a psychological origin, they are always the object of never-ending research for a detectable lesion which would explain their complications. Following consultations with 114 patients in the department of Stomatology, and in collaboration with our neuropsychiatrist colleagues in the same hospital, we took stock of this frequent application which bothers the buccal specialist, who does not know to consider it or how to treat it.
