title: "Scalded mouth syndrome" caused by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors: two case reports.
abstract: Two cases of "scalded mouth syndrome" are presented and discussed. This condition is a rare side effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are known to cause several other oral and extra-oral side effects. In scalded mouth syndrome, the patient's complaints concern a burning pain of the oral soft tissues. There are no clinical findings.
