clinically healthy appearance of the oral mucosa, as well as burning mouth syndrome
(BMS) itself, they both remain still challenging subjects.
The aim of this study was arranged to evaluate the effects of some systemic
medication in the occurrence of BMS in relation to other etiological factors that may
share in causing this disease in an Iraqi sample.
Out of eighty, fifty patients (28 female and 22 males) were selected as a study
group, all of them suffered from BMS, clinical and laboratory examinations in
addition to previous diagnosis for the patients on the referral forma were depending
on identifying the etiological causes for the BMS.
This study revealed that antihypertensive and antidepressant medications were
more affecting among this studied Iraqi sample with BMS than other etiological
factor.
