Nanoparticles; Toothpaste; Hydroxyapatite;zinc oxide, silver, titanium dioxideAbstract
A nanoparticle is a microscopic particle with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. Nanoparticle research is currently an area of intense scientific research, due to a wide variety of potential applications in biomedical, optical, and electric fields. The aim of the study was to determine the various nanoparticles used in toothpaste. Articles were searched in various sources like pubmed and google scholar. The articles were collected between the year 2010-2020. The outcome of this study is based on the previous study which is done on uses, advantages and disadvantages of nanoparticles used in tooth[aste. The various nanoparticles employed in toothpaste are hydroxyapatite, silver, zinc oxide, diamond, hexametaphosphate etc.
