- Introduction: Some NPs, once released into the body through different internalization methods such as oral, parenteral, inhalation administration and skin adsorption, can affect redox homeostasis both by generating ROS or lessening scavenging pathways. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most extensively used nanomaterials for several applications, but the photocatalytic properties of TiO2NPs have raised many issues as a result of ROS generation while UV irradiation is performed. Aim: This survey was conducted for assessing the awareness of Biomedical Applications of Reactive Oxygen Species Generation by Titanium Nanoparticles among dental students. Materials and Method: A cross-section research was conducted with a self-administered questionnaire containing ten questions distributed amongst 100 dental students. The questionnaire assessed the awareness about Reactive Oxygen Species Generation by Titanium Nanoparticles, their photocatalytic properties, anti-cancer properties, prooxidant effects, mechanism of action and toxicity effects, The responses were recorded and analysed. Results: 10% of the respondents were aware of the Biomedical Applications of Reactive Oxygen Species Generation by Titanium Nanoparticles. 9 % were aware of photocatalytic properties of Titanium Nanoparticle, 9 %, 5% were aware of anticancer activities of Titanium Nanoparticles, 5% were aware of prooxidant effects of Titanium Nanoparticles and, 5% were aware of mechanism of action and toxicity effects, of Titanium Nanoparticles. Conclusion: There is limited awareness amongst dental students about Biomedical Applications of Reactive Oxygen Species Generation by Titanium Nanoparticles. Enhanced awareness initiatives and dental educational programmes together with increased importance for curriculum improvements that further promote knowledge and awareness of Titanium Nanoparticles therapy.
