Abstract
Seventy-four patients with burning mouth syndrome underwent a psychiatric interview; Hamilton's Depression and Anxiety Scales were applied independently. A psychiatric diagnosis was established in 38 cases (51.35%). Depression was the predominant disorder. The evaluation scales showed that when present, anxiety greatly influences the psychiatric condition of these patients. The differences in the results obtained with the two methods are discussed.
