Abstract
These experiments were carried out for the purpose of investigating causes of exfoliation of the oral mucosa after use of dentifrice.
Exfoliation of the oral mucosa is considered to be mainly due to the surfactant of dentifrice components.
The perfumes influence exfoliations of oral mucosa when surfactants co-exist with them.
Combinations of perfume and surfactant are mainly divided into two types.
The first ; surfactants themselves cause small amount of exfoliations oral mucosa and even when perfumes co-exist, they do only a same size of exfoliations.
The second ; surfactants themselves have properties of exfoliations and when perfumes coexist, exfoliations is varied with their type.
On the other hand, exfoliations are influenced with quantity of perfumes.
Differences of exfoliations volumes come not from depthes of exfoliations tissues but from sizes of exfoliations tissues.
Exfoliations are caused by swelling of the upper layer of tissues, which due to dentifrices.
