A woman complained of burning mouth syndrome for 2 years. When patch tested, she reacted to eugenol and a mouthwash containing eugenol. She also consumed large amounts of cinnamon and cloves, which both contain eugenol. After avoiding these products, the burning of the mouth was significantly reduced after 8 weeks (128).

Burning mouth syndrome is an intraoral pain disorder that is typically associated with a burning sensation of the tongue and/or palate. Postmenopausal women are most commonly affected. The National Institutes of Dental and Craniofacial Research report on the National Centers for Disease Control household health survey stated that almost 1.3 million American adults (0.7% of the U.S. population), mostly women in the postmenopausal period, are afflicted with this disorder (34). When it primarily affects the tongue, it is referred to as burning tongue or glossodynia. Grushka and her colleagues have conducted several studies to systematically characterize the features of this disorder (35-38).

Visceral dental pain is less frequently reported and involves pain referred to dentition from the internal organs. As mentioned earlier, when the pain from angina pectoris is referred to the teeth, cardiac toothache occurs. In some cases, cardiac toothache may be a harbinger of imminent cardiovascular episodes [73]. Atypical odontalgia or phantom tooth pain has been reported, or which there is no clear course of treatment although intravenous ketamine, intravenous lidocaine, and a drip infusion of adenosine triphosphate have been reported as temporarily or partially effective in the literature [73]. In such cases, there is no clear reference point for the toothache. Burning mouth syndrome is a type of dental or orofacial pain whose etiology remains unknown. There is no clear course of treatment, although the literature offers a short report about the use of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors [74].
