Abstract
After many years of research, burning mouth syndrome (BMS) remains an enigma: the pathophysiology is not defined, there is no gold standard for diagnosis, and the treatment provided is not sufficient. Concepts such as that suggested in the Focus Article by Woda et al1 may serve as a foundation for advanced research that may finally shed light on this pathology.
