EFFECTS OF PIEZO - CATALYSIS FOR TOOTH WHITENING - A REVIEW Authors: Apurva Choudhary , BALAJI GANESH S* AND SMILINE GIRIJA AS
ABSTRACT
The increasing demand for a whiter smile has resulted in an increased popularity for tooth
whitening procedures. Fastest growing aesthetic dentistry procedure is tooth whitening. This
review demonstrates that the piezo catalysis based on tooth whitening via BTO (Barium titanate)
nanoparticles is non destructive to the tooth enamel and biocompatible without cytotoxicity as
compared to other clinical whitening agents. This review demonstrates that the piezo -catalysis
based tooth whitening via BTO nanoparticles is non destructive to the tooth enamel and
biocompatible without cytotoxicity as compared to other clinical whitening agents. Piezocatalysis
tooth whitening has the ability to be widely adopted for home use, without requiring
significant investment. It can also be used in clinical aspects. The review article concludes that
piezo - catalysis effects based tooth whitening method can replace traditional abrasive in the
toothpaste and to generate reactive oxygen species via piezo - catalysis to bleach tooth stains.
