Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This systematic review aimed to determine the clinical and epidemiologic profile of patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) following the current classification of the International Headache Society (IHS)-the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) and the International Classification of Orofacial Pain (ICOP).
STUDY DESIGN
This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist and involved a comprehensive search on PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, LILACS, and the gray literature.
RESULTS
Of the 4,252 studies identified, 41 were included. In general, there were no differences between the clinical and epidemiologic profiles of patients with BMS classified based on ICHD-3 or ICOP. Studies were pooled in meta-analyses and showed a significant prevalence of female patients between the sixth and seventh decade of life. The burning sensation and the tongue were the most prevalent descriptors and affected location. Significant associations were demonstrated between BMS and anxiety (P = .0006), depression (P = .004), and poor oral hygiene (P = .00001).
CONCLUSIONS
Under the existing contemporary classification systems, patients with BMS were found to be mostly females in the sixth and seventh decade of life with a burning sensation on the tongue. Experiencing depression and anxiety was a commonly existing comorbidity.
