Glossodynia is one of the most common psychosomatic disorders seen in dental practice.
In this paper we report a case of glossodynia that was treated effectively by a psychosomatic approach.
The patient was 65-year-old female who had several biopsychosocial aspects to her profile.
These included such psychosocial factors as cancer phobia, perfectionism, object loss (retirement) and living alone, together with some biological factors as well.
We obtained immediate and excellent therapeutic effect in this case through the use of both physical and psychological treatments.
