Burning Mouth Syndrome: Effects of Occlusal Splint Therapy
Sponsor: Malmö University
Summary
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) causes chronic oral pain and significantly affects quality of life. Effective treatments are limited and often provide only temporary relief. This prospective N-of-1 study evaluates the effect of an intraoral Essix appliance on pain intensity and salivary secretion in patients with BMS. Saliva samples are collected and analysed for volume and composition.
