Is it possible to call Bibtex files for citation in MS PowerPoint. Is there any such add-in or software to do this?

This should be what you want. Traditional elsart-num:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Bli74,
author = {Blinder, Alan S.},
year = {1974},
title = {The economics of brushing teeth},
journal = {Journal of Political Economy},
volume = {82},
number = {4},
pages = {887--891},
}
@book{Kop04,
author = {Kopka, Helmut and Daly, Patrick W.},
year = {2004},
title = {Guide to \LaTeX},
edition = {4},
address = {Boston},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{elsart-num}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
biblatex emulation:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[firstinits=true,abbreviate=false]{biblatex}
\renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addcomma\space}
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\addcomma\space}
\renewcommand*{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{title}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat{journaltitle}{#1}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{%
\ifentrytype{article}{%
}{%
\printtext{\bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}%
}%
}
\renewbibmacro*{volume+number+eid}{%
\printfield{volume}%
\setunit*{\addnbspace}%
\printfield{number}%
\setunit{\addcomma\space}%
\printfield{eid}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\mkbibparens{#1}}
\renewcommand*{\bibpagespunct}{\addspace}
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1}

I think the best advice is to pick a format that works for you and stick to it. If you have a sensible workflow, then it doesn't really matter what your keys are. For example, I use RefTeX in emacs to insert keys. So I basically can just ad-hoc search for the author name and then mark the references I want to insert. I don't actually have to remember what the keys are.
That said, here's one piece of advice that has made my life easier: Whatever format your bibtex keys are in, try to put your downloaded pdfs in the same format. That makes finding a paper you cited way easier.

As far as I know is there no possibility to call BiBTeX in PowerPoint.
What you can try is to use a program like citavi or perhaps Menderly or ... If these programs are able to import a bibtex file you can use them to integrate your citations into Powerpoint. As far as I know you can use Citavi in PowerPoint.
