“…The last original hypothesis identified was emitted by Lain in 1928 and linked the sensation of “burning tongue” reported by these patients (sometimes associated with the perception of a metallic taste) to the galvanic phenomena that can occur in the presence of several metals of different electrochemical potentials (Lain, ).…”

This medical history historic literature review aims at understanding the evolution of the medical existence of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) over times. Three historic research tools were used (Medic@, IndexCat, Gallica) with several keywords, exploring the years 1800-1950. One hundred and fifty documents were obtained dating from 1803 to 1937, including 55 reviews, 44 original articles, 40 quotations, and 11 medical dictionaries. A total of 199 cases of BMS were reported which allowed for a narrative review of the early history of BMS (1800-1950). This review spans from the description of the first clinical cases by several authors in Europe to the creation of the syndrome by the French Academy of Medicine, its intellectual sponsorship by the emerging discipline of neuropsychiatry, to its subsequent evolution until the conceptual shift of the American authors. A better knowledge of the evolution of the nosology of BMS throughout history should bring a better understanding of current approaches for treating such an affection.

“…The condition is mentioned in many of the standard dermatological textbooks, such as those of Sutton and Sutton (1939), Becker and Obermayer (1940), and Andrews (1946). Lain (1932) discussed briefly the basic constituents of dental plates and stated that probably the substance mainly responsible for the stomatitis is vermilion (mercury sulphide), which, in plates that have not been sufficiently hardened, is easily liberated on to the mucous membranes. Lindsay (1928) described glossitis occurring in a patient who was shown to be sensitive to a "plastic" type of denture by patch testing.…”
