牙疼不是病,疼起来真要命!体验过牙疼的小朋友都知道,这句俗话真是太形象了。不过,今后大家也许能用上“口香糖牙医”啦。研究人员开发了一种生物传感器,它能检测牙种植体周围是否有疾病,产生苦味意味着诊断结果为阳性。他们将传感器与一种复合物结合,然后将其嵌入口香糖。如果食用者患有牙种植体周围疾病,生物传感器便会打开,将具有强烈苦味的复合物释放出来。 Toothache is not a disease, it hurts terrible! Experienced children with toothache all know, this idiom is really too like. However, in the future we may be able to use “chewing gum dentist ” friends. Researchers have developed a biosensor that detects the presence of disease around the dental implant, producing bitterness that means the diagnosis is positive. They combine the sensor with a complex and then embed it in chewing gum. If the user suffers from a disease surrounding the dental implant, the biosensor opens and releases a compound with a strong bitter taste.
