can effectively use in tooth whitening product

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHTP, Tooth Whitening) can effectively use in tooth whitening product due to the following properties:

1. Biomimetic approach: SHTP is described as a biomimetic polyphosphate-bleaching agent, meaning it mimics natural biological processes to achieve a whitening effect.

2. Non-peroxide based: Unlike traditional whitening agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, SHTP is a non-peroxide based whitening agent. This may make it a safer alternative with fewer side effects.

3. Formation of a protective barrier: SHTP, along with fluoride, appears to form a "barrier" on the enamel surface. This barrier helps protect against mineral loss from the tooth enamel.

4. Remineralization: The study suggests that SHTP helps remineralize damaged enamel, which can contribute to restoring the natural white color of teeth.

5. Strengthening tooth structure: By remineralizing and protecting the enamel, SHTP helps strengthen the overall tooth structure.

6. Prevention of tooth sensitivity: The protective and remineralizing effects of SHTP may help prevent tooth sensitivity, which is a common side effect of peroxide-based whitening agents.

7. Daily use: Unlike peroxide-based products which may have usage limitations, products containing SHTP can potentially be used daily without adverse reactions.

8. Effectiveness: The study found that SHTP-containing products (specifically the iWhite Dark Stains Whitening Kit and iWhite Dark Stains Toothpaste) showed significant whitening effects. The whitening kit in particular demonstrated high color change values, second only to the 10% carbamide peroxide control group.

9. Long-term effects: The study showed that the whitening effects of SHTP-containing products were maintained even after one month, suggesting good color stability.

10. Mechanism: While not explicitly stated, the whitening effect of SHTP likely comes from its ability to remove surface stains and prevent new stains from adhering to the tooth surface, rather than chemically bleaching the tooth like peroxide-based products.
