After clinical examination and diagnosis of BMS, 10 patients reported the intensity of the burning by means of a subjective score ranging from 0 to 10 and also answered the OHIP-14.

At each reassessment consultation (30, 60, 90 and 180 days), the patients answered the OHIP-14 and subjective burning scores were collected again. Overall, the capsaicin gel showed gradual reduction or elimination of symptoms of BMS, as well as an improvement in the QOL of patients throughout treatment.
