Abstract :Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a chronic condition characterized by a burning or scalding sensation in the oral cavity, typically involving the tongue, lips, palate, or entire mouth, without any identifiable mucosal or systemic pathology. This case report discusses the presentation, diagnosis, and management of BMS in a 45-year-old female patient. The patient presented with a chief complaint of persistent oral burning sensation, which significantly impacted her quality of life. A diagnosis of BMS was established through a thorough clinical examination and exclusion of potential causes. Management involved a multidisciplinary approach, including pharmacotherapy, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle modifications. The patient showed improvement in symptoms following treatment, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive approach to managing BMS.Keywords : Burning Mouth Syndrome, Glossodynie, Oral burning sensation
