Burning mouth syndrome associated to vulvodynia (Vulvostomatodynia) is a rare condition and is often difficult to diagnose and treat. Tongue, lips, vestibule and others mucosal sites may be affected by a tiresome burning sensation, especially in menopausal and postmenopausal women. Patients seldom report genital symptoms to the dentist and dentists do not generally investigate about genital symptoms. Delays in diagnosis may affect the quality of life. We report the clinical features of five new cases of vulvostomatodynia. A thorough multidisciplinary medical management is necessary to improve symptoms and prevent from psychologic distress. Counselling and an understanding between patient and clinician/therapist are important for long-term results.
