Abstract
Background Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic idiopathic facial pain with intraoral burning or dysesthesia. BMS patients regularly suffer from anxiety/depression, and the association of psychiatric symptoms with BMS has received considerable attention in recent years. The aims of this study were to investigate the potential interplay between psychiatric symptoms and BMS. Methods Using 16S rRNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) to evaluate the oral microbiota and saliva metabolism of 40 BMS patients [including 29 BMS patients with depression or anxiety symptoms (DBMS)] and 40 age matched healthy control (HC). Results The oral microbiota composition in BMS exhibited no significant differences from HC, although DBMS manifested decreased α-diversity relative to HC. Noteworthy was the discernible elevation in the abundance of proinflammatory microorganisms within the oral microbiome of individuals with DBMS. Parallel findings in LC/MS analyses revealed discernible disparities in metabolites between DBMS and HC groups. Principal differential metabolites were notably enriched in amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism, exhibiting associations with infectious and immunological diseases. Furthermore, the integrated analysis underscores a definitive association between the oral microbiome and metabolism in DBMS. Conclusions This study suggests possible future modalities for better understanding the pathogenesis and personalized treatment plans of BMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiology of Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To explore the differences in the therapeutic efficacy of pain improvement between medication therapy and laser therapy in patients with BMS. METHODS 45 BMS patients were randomly divided into three groups: The Combination therapy group (Group A, n= 15), The Medication therapy group (Group B, n= 15), and the Laser therapy group (Group C, n= 15). The pain condition of the patients was evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and the improvement in pain before and after treatment was compared among the three groups. RESULTS All three groups (A, B, and C) showed a significant reduction in NRS scores after treatment, with statistically significant differences observed among the different groups. Group A exhibited the most significant improvement, with a statistically significant difference before and after treatment. CONCLUSION Laser and medication therapy are effective methods for reducing oral burning pain * symptoms, and their combined use yields more significant therapeutic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burning mouth syndrome is a chronic pain syndrome mainly characterized by an intensive burning sensation of tongue. Previous studies have suggested that saliva/serum biomarkers in burning mouth syndrome might be associated with psychological disorders. The aim of systematic review was to observe whether the biomarkers in serum/saliva could be an alternative method to evaluate the psychological disorders in patients with burning mouth syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for papers published up to March 15, 2023. Risk of bias was measured by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RevMan was used for meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 467 articles were screened, which of 12 studies were included. These studies collected 43 different biomarkers in saliva and 35 in serum. Of these biomarkers, only three (cortisol, α-amylase, and IL-6) were analyzed in two or more studies. Only salivary cortisol levels were significantly higher in the patient group compared to the controls (Mean Difference = 1.39; 95% CI [0.80-1.97]; p < 0.001). Moreover, cortisol might be relevant to psychological scores, especially anxiety. CONCLUSION Different papers have investigated salivary and serum biomarkers in burning mouth syndrome patients with controversial results. This meta-analysis showed that cortisol levels in saliva may be a potential biomarker to assess the psychological disorders in burning mouth syndrome patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tongue is an essential organ for the development of certain crucial functions such as swallowing and speech. The examination of the tongue can be very useful in neurology, as the various types of lingual alterations can lead to certain specific diagnoses, the tongue being a kind of 'mirror' of some neurological function. REVIEW SUMMARY To discuss the elements of clinical examination of the tongue in relation to neurological disorders. After reviewing the different superficial lesions of the tongue, we deal with various movement disorders of the tongue (fasciculations/myokimia, orolingual tremor, choreic movements of the tongue, dystonia of the tongue, lingual myoclonus, and psychogenic movements), disorders of taste and lingual sensitivity and lingual pain. CONCLUSIONS Examination of the tongue should not be limited to studying its motility and trophicity. It is equally important to check the sensory function and understand how to interpret abnormal movements involving the tongue. This study also aimed to demonstrate the importance of nonmotor tongue function in neurological practice.

Abstract
Burning mouth syndrome is a poorly understood entity for which current treatment modalities fail to provide effective relieve. Branches of the maxillary and mandibular nerves are responsible for the innervation of the affected area. These are also the nerves involved in trigeminal neuralgia, an entity where sphenopalatine block has proved to be effective. We present a case of a patient with burning mouth syndrome in whom a bilateral sphenopalatine ganglion block was successfully performed for pain treatment. It is an easy and safe technique that can be a valuable treatment option for these patients, although more studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a warning signal for the body defense mechanisms and is a critical sensation for supporting life. However, orofacial pain is not a vital sensation, but a disease. However, there are still many unclear points about the pathophysiological mechanism of orofacial pain. This situation makes it difficult for many clinicians to treat orofacial pain hypersensitivity. HIGHLIGHT Noxious information on the orofacial region received by trigeminal ganglion neurons is recognized as "orofacial pain" by being transmitted to the somatosensory cortex and limbic system via the spinal trigeminal nucleus and the thalamic sensory nuclei. Orofacial inflammation or trigeminal nerve injury causes neuropathic changes in various nociceptive signaling pathways, resulting in persistent orofacial pain. It is considered that persistent oral facial pain is triggered by plastic changes in nociceptive signaling pathways involving various cells such as satellite glial cells, astrocytes, microglia, and macrophages, as well as nociceptive neurons. CONCLUSION Recent studies have shown that hyperexcitability of nociceptive neurons in the nociceptive signaling pathways of the orofacial region caused by a variety of factors causes persistent orofacial pain. This review outlines the pathophysiology of orofacial pain along with the results of our study.

Abstract
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic oral condition characterized by an intraoral burning sensation, taste alterations, and dry mouth sensations. Although a number of factors have been closely related to the appearance of the symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances, the etiology of BMS remains unclear. Furthermore, currently no objective diagnostic tools exist, making its diagnosis challenging. Therefore, to contribute to the knowledge about BMS etiology and look for objective tools for its diagnosis, the present study was conducted. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the proteomic profile of the resting whole saliva of patients with BMS and age and sex-matched controls using two-dimensional electrophoresis. The results showed evidence of changes in saliva at the level of proteins related to important pathways such as stress (sAA), immune system (Ig), and inflammation (leukocyte elastase inhibitor). While some of our findings have been previously described others, such as the deregulation of the coiled-coin domain containing protein 25 in BMS, are presented here for the first time to our knowledge. Thus, saliva provides us with relevant information about BMS pathophysiology and could be considered a suitable biofluid for its study and/or diagnosis.
