Summary
The aim of this study was to determine through a systematic review, which is the best drug treatment for burning mouth syndrome (SBU), measured on a Visual Analogue Scale. A scientific literature search was conducted in PubMed and SciELO, Trip Database, Database Scopus, EBSCO host and LILACS data between 2005 and 2015. Of a total of 72 articles, 11 were included for analysis. Systemic treatments were Lycopeneenriched virgin olive oil, Hypericum perforatum, Catuama, Clonazepam, Alpha lipoic acid; topical treatments were Lysozyme lactoperoxidase, Clonazepam, Capsaicin and Lafutidine. The best results obtained were with Lafutidine, Catuama, topical and systemic Clonazepam, and to a lesser degree Capsaicin.
