Imagine getting rid of the ordeals of visiting a dentist’s clinic to cure your oral problems and getting a tattoo done on your teeth instead! Funny it might sound at first but the team of Michael McAlpine and his research team at Princeton university are toiling hard to turn this fantasy into reality. If everything goes well with their research then the days are not far behind when oral tattooing will become a prominent trend in maintaining oral hygiene. Most interestingly, it would be a path-breaking achievement for the tattooing industry which is battling to carve out trust among the wider masses on the front of hygiene standards.
This impeccable breakthrough known as the tooth tattoo is essentially based on the use of a ‘graphene’ based sensor that will be planted onto the tooth. Tooth tattoos, in turn, will monitor the oral health and detect the presence of harmful bacteria. Printed on a water-soluble silk, this tattoo can be bio-chemically transferred onto the tooth enamel. The sensor will automatically settle themselves onto work once the soluble silk gets dissolved into the enamel. However,there is a bad news for those who might be thinking that the shutters of dentist shops will be closed forever after this! For the assemblage of all this stuff, one would still require the services of a dentist.
The sensor comes equipped with radio-sensitive identification tab that is used in providing the sensor the required energy for monitoring. The researchers opine that once it sweeps across the world market, then tattoo industry would definitely be in for a revolution- a revolution that will change the lives of thousands of people in a sleek and stylish manner.
