墨鱼汁成就口腔成像新技术墨鱼汁不仅仅能用来做墨鱼汁意面,还能帮我们检查牙龈健康。美国加州大学的研究人员将墨鱼汁和光、超声波结合,研发出一种用于检查牙龈的非侵入式口腔成像新技术。患者首先需要用食品级墨鱼汁、水和玉米淀粉混合的膏状物清洗口腔。由于墨鱼汁中含有的黑色素微粒就能够吸收光,在清洗口腔的过程中,这些黑色素微粒会留在牙齿和牙龈之间的牙周袋中。而后,当研究者用激光照射到口腔中时,牙周袋中的黑色素颗粒受热迅速膨胀,与其 Cuttlefish Achievements Oral imaging new technology Cuttlefish juice can be used not only to make cuttlefish pasta, but also to help us check the gum health. Researchers at the University of California, United States, combined cuttlefish juice with light and ultrasound to develop a new noninvasive oral imaging technique for examining the gums. Patients first need to wash their mouths with a mixture of food-grade squid juice, water and corn starch. Because melanin particles contained in cuttlefish juice are able to absorb light, these melanin particles stay in the periodontal pocket between the teeth and gums during oral cleaning. Then, when the researchers irradiated the laser with the oral cavity, the melanin particles in the periodontal pocket expanded rapidly by heat,
