Taste Perception and Saliva Composition Are Not Altered in Burning Mouth Syndrome
In contrast to most previous reports, BMS patients did not differ from control subjects in any of the six taste modalities tested nor did the salivary variables differ between the groups. The relationship between salivary variables and total taste score was weak but similar in both groups. Further research with larger study samples is needed to confirm these results.
