A Structured Approach for the Management of Orodynia (Burning Mouth Syndrome).

Overview

Orodynia (OD) manifests as an unexplained burning sensation in the oral cavity, often persisting for years without clear clinical findings. Currently, there is no clear protocol for managing OD. We propose a systematic approach that aims to exclude common potential causes and attempt proactive treatments. Anecdotally, we have found that our structured approach improves clinical outcomes.
