Sažetak

Aim: Burning mouth syndrome is a chronic, idiopathic, multifactorial painfulcondition which is characterized by a burning sensation in the mouth and can vary during theday. Once BMS symptoms occur, they can last for a few years. The pain is mostly localisedbilaterally in the lateral and anterior two-thirds of tongue, hard palate, and lower lip. BMS ismostly present in middle age and old female population. Even though etiopathogenesis ofthe disease remains unknown, its diagnostic methods are based on exclusion of all possiblecausal factors. Oral electrogalvanism, known as one of the potential factors responsible forBMS can occur when the patient has two or more alloys that can interfere. Therefore it isessential to know all the characteristics of dental materials that may contribute to galvanism.The purpose of this study was to examine the occurence of electrical potential diffrence inpatients with primary or secondary burning mouth syndrome having at least two metals ofdifferent nobility in their oral cavity. Methods: This study included 34 patients in BMS and 38patients in the control group. Results: Statistical analysis of the data revealed no significantdifference in the electrogalvanic potential between the examined gruops (p = 0.925).Conclusion: Although oral electrogalvanism is mentioned in the literature to be potentiallocal factor in BMS development, in this study we did not prove their connection.
