RESUMO
Benign migratory glossitis, also termed geographic tongue, is a condition manifested as irregular areas of filiform papillae loss, circumscribed by whitish, slightly elevated margins. In this condition, the tongue appearance varies deeply with glossitis worsening and healing. The oral condition mostly associated to benign migratory glossitis is fissured tongue. In spite of being considered as a congenital anomaly, aspects as epidemiological association, basic lesions and similar microscopic characteristics support the idea that benign migratory glossitis is the true form of oral psoriasis. Both psoriasis and benign migratory glossitis have been associated to psychosomatics diseases. The emotional factors seem to be connected with these conditions. This study was done having the objective of identifying state-anxiety and trait-anxiety in patients with benign migratory glossitis. The sample was made up of 78 patients with benign migratory glossitis and a control group of 48 individuais. The patients with benign migratory glossitis presented fissured tongue simultaneous or not, and did not present psoriasis. The control group did not present benign migratory glossitis, fissured tongue or psoriasis. Full dermatological and oral examinations were performed in ali of the individuais, and the State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was applied. The statistical analysis, by the Mann-Whitney test for the observation of the differences between the state-anxiety and trait-anxiety scores in the groups, was done. The study of identification of trait-state anxiety in patients with geographic tongue showed that: a) Moderate scores of state-anxiety and trait-anxiety were determined in each group studied. b) No statistically significant differences between the benign migratory glossitis group and the control group relative to the state-anxiety and the trait-anxiety scores were found. c) The state-anxiety and the trait-anxiety scores in the benign migratory glossitis associated to fissured tongue group and in the exclusively benign migratory glossitis group didn t show significant differences when compared to the control group. d) The benign migratory glossitis associated to fissured tongue group and the exclusively geographic tongue group didn t show differences in the state-anxiety and trait-anxiety scores. e) No statistically significant differences in the state-anxiety and the trait-anxiety scores were found in the benign migratory glossitis group relative to the symptomatology and the conscience of the presence of this condition. These data allow the conclusion that benign migratory glossitis may be a multifactorial disease, being necessary a genetic component to express itself. Anxiety, as an environmental factor, does not have a predominant participation, but it could be one of the factors that trigger such condition
