While my initial interest was in hair thinning and the relationship with SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfate) in shampoo, as I investigated discussions on using SLS in products I came across other scientific papers. I found an old study which was investigating the effect of SLS in patients who had re-occurring mouth ulcers. I&#8217;ll put the link in at the end.
While the study paper gets overly technical on the use of an effective denaturant Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in its role as an asynthetic detergent commonly used in toothpaste, I can reduce it to the basics here.
It was noticed that a proportion of dental patients reported re-occurring mouth ulcers [recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU)]. These developments of painful, recurring solitary or multiple necrotizing ulcerations are problematic and have a difficult solution.
They took 10 volunteer patients aged between 13-35, 8 men and 2 women who suffered from this multiple minor RAU and screened as otherwise healthy individuals. The participants were instructed not to change diet, lifestyle, or smoking habits (three smokers) during the trial.
In order to record the number of ulcers seen during the study period all involved were given pictures of RAU and written information on recognising the signs of ulcers to allow them to record the number of ulcers in a diary. These were examined at least every 2nd week along with a visual inspection of their oral mucosa by the clinical examiner.
