“…Geographic Tongue (GT) is an inflammatory disorder, usually asymptomatic, of unknown etiology, which regularly happens at the tongue’s dorsum and may sometimes involve its lateral borders. Erythematous areas characterized the clinical aspect of GT with a whitish, slightly high margin due to atrophy of the filiform papillae [ 1 , 2 ]. The lesion is often found in people with immunological sickness inclusive of psoriasis, withinside the presence of stress and/or anxiety, and may be related to allergic or atopic conditions [ 16 ].…”

“…Its clinical characteristics have been described as erythematous areas with whitish and slightly elevated margins [ 1 , 7 ] and can be classified as active or passive [ 2 ]. This study showed that 8 patients in the sample had the clinical characteristics described above.…”

“…Geographic Tongue (GT), also described in the literature as glossitis migrans, erythema migrans, benign migratory glossitis, or stomatitis areata, is an inflammatory disorder, generally asymptomatic of unknown etiology, which commonly occurs on the dorsum of the tongue and can sometimes involve its lateral borders. Its clinical presentation is often described as an erythematous area, which occurs due to filiform papillae´s atrophy and consequent epithelium thinning [ 1 , 2 ], surrounded by whitish and slightly elevated margins, resembling a map-like appearance. However, in this condition, the fungiform papillae are not affected by this kind of atrophy [ 3 ].…”

“…GT can be clinically classified as active or typical when a whitish, slightly high margin demarcates it; passive, abortive, or atypical when this border disappears before its formation process is finished [ 2 ]. It is a dynamic lesion that presents morphology changes, can heal in spontaneous ways periodically and has a recurrent character in different moments [ 8 ].…”

Background Geographic Tongue (GT) is a benign inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, which is characterized by the loss of epithelium due to the atrophy of filiform papillae. It usually occurs on the dorsum of the tongue and may extend to its lateral edges. It appears as an erythematous area surrounded by whitish and slightly elevated margins. In most cases, the condition is asymptomatic, although some individuals may report symptoms that include a burning sensation of the tongue. Objective Assess whether there was a change in the clinical aspect of Geographic Tongue (GT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Thirty-two participants were recruited from Dentistry School Universidade Federal Fluminense. Anamnesis and oral examination were performed to collect medical history. The participants were split into two groups: control group (no GT) n = 20 and test group (with GT) n = 12. In the second step, nine participants from a 12 (75%) of the test group were contacted by phone and answered a questionnaire about changes in the signs and symptoms of GT during the pandemic. The subjects were subdivided into two groups: GT with and without signs and symptoms exacerbation. Results In the first phase of the research, no statistical difference between control and test groups was observed regarding clinical criteria such as age (p + 0.72), gender (p = 0.24), and systemic diseases (p = 0.58). In the second phase, there was a statistical difference between GT groups with or without symptom exacerbation in terms of age and stress as a factor of the oral symptoms (p = 0.3 and 0.2), respectively. Younger patients showed a worsening of the oral lesions related to GT (p = 0.3) and reported stress during the pandemic (p = 0.02). Conclusion Younger patients were more susceptible to stress and presented more exacerbation of the oral lesions related to GT.
