The aim of this study was to determine the level of salivary estradiol, progesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in female postmenopausal women with and without burning mouth syndrome. In all participants the quantity of unstimulated and stimulated saliva would be determined and they would fulfill self-perceived quality of life questionnaire Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Intensity of burning symptoms would be determined on visual-analogue scale grading 0-10. All data would be compared between study and control group.
