Sažetak
Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and to determine local and systemic factors associated with its presence. Patients and methods: 314 patients were divided in BMS group (n = 164) and control group (n = 150). Research was conducted using a questionnaire assaying the prevalence of local and systemic factors associated with BMS between BMS group and control group. The questionnaire involved 14 enquires: demographic data, drugs, allergies, systemic illness or disorders that may be in the back- ground of BMS, smoking and local factors. Total salivary flow rates were determined, smears to identify the presence of Candida were taken, oral galvanism was measured and the presence of parafunctional habits was determined. Comparative statistical analyses of scanned factors among groups were performed using Hi square test, Fischer’s exact test or t-test for the difference between proportions. Results: Significantly higher prevalence in the SPU group was found for: allergies, postmenopause, positive finding of H. pylori / GERD / gastri- tis, local nerve trauma or neurologic disease, parafunctional habits, xerostomia, candidiasis, galvanism and antihypertensive therapy. Smoking was significantly more common in control group. Conclusions: Treating the patients with secondary BMS dentists should pay special attention to the presence of candidyasis, galvanism, parafunctional habits and gastroenterological problems.
