Methods: The study was a prospective longitudinal type and the sample consisted of patients of Oral Diagnosis Service of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, from 2014 to 2015.

Inventories were applied validated depression, anxiety and stress before and after the treatments for burning. The study consisted of 30 patients (10 patients with BMS and 20 with SBM), the group exhibited an average age over 55 years, mostly female (90% in both groups) in menopausal period. Results: Burning was the most reported symptom by BMS group (90%) and the site, was the tongue (80%). As for the psychological aspect regarding the BMS the stress level of the group, before treatment, was equally distributed between no stress (40.0%) and physical stress (40.0%); most of the patients had no depression (70%) and minimal anxiety (60%). After treatment, most of the BMS group performed without stress (63.6%), no depression (60.0%) and with a minimum degree of anxiety (70.0%).
