“Is it Sjögren's syndrome or burning mouth syndrome? Distinct pathoses with similar oral symptoms”- Response

We thank Drs. Mortazavi and Anbari for their thoughtful comments on our review1. We agree unequivocally that there are many distinguishing features between Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Indeed, this was the focus our review as was nicely summarized in the commentary. However, our own clinical experience and the published literature demonstrate that the shared patient demographics and overlapping oral symptoms between the two conditions may cause confusion on the part of health care providers on initial presentation1-4.
