Introduction: Oral mucosal desquamation (OMD) is an irritative reaction caused by products containing sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), an anionic detergent that causes a stronger denaturation effect in intercellular structure epithelium.
Case Series: Describing four cases of OMD induced by dentifrices, as an endeavor to make the condition better known, improving its diagnosis by clinicians based on minimal intervention.
Conclusion: Oral mucosal desquamation should be considered as a differential diagnosis of the desquamative lesions of the mouth. Clinical signs and symptomatology should disappear in one week after discontinuation potentially involved products.
Keywords: Dentifrice, Detergents, Mouth mucosa, Sodium lauryl sulfate
