Organic degradation potential of a TiO2/H2O2/UV –vis system for dental applications

Conclusions Low H2O2 concentrations (1.0mM–3.5mM) and visible light (405nm) used in combination with rutile TiO2 particles showed the highest RhB degradation capacity. Clinical significance A combination of TiO2 particles and H2O2 exposed to low energy UV or high energy visible light has an organic degradation capability that could be utilized in applications to kill or inactivate bacteria on medical devices such as dental implants for treatment against, e.g., peri-implantitis.
