Abstract
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a poorly understood, ill-defined condition characterized by painful and burning sensations of the oral cavity in the absence of any visible mucosal abnormality or other organic disease. Although the syndrome has been recognized for long, there is no absolute consent on the diagnosis, etiology and treatment of BMS. The current manuscript attempts to unveil the dilemma surrounding pharmacological management of BMS and a brief review of related literature.
