Abstract

Among those who seek help from dentists, a special group is made up of patients who complain of pain and discomfort in the tongue, less often in the area of the palate, the inner surfaces of the cheeks, or in other parts of the oral cavity. This disease was first designated as glossodynia, and then as glossalgia [2]. Later, in clinical practice, they begin to use the term "stomalgia", since it turned out that pain and paresthesia are localized not only in the tongue, but also in other parts of the oral cavity.
