Dental splint for burning mouth pain relief
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a custom-made clear plastic dental guard (called an occlusal splint) can help reduce burning mouth pain. If you've found relief from a similar guard before, this could be a way to manage your symptoms.

- You must have been in a previous study on burning mouth syndrome conducted by Malmö University.
