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.
