問題詳情

請依下文回答第16題至第20題:         For over a hundred years, dentists have been repairing cavities by removing the decayed tooth tissue witha drill and filling the hole with metal or plastic material. Depending on the cavity’s depth, this method can beunpleasant to downright painful for the patient, and it has to be repeated periodically.         “You’re really in that cycle of repair and replacement for the rest of the tooth’s life,” said RebeccaMoazzea, senior lecturer at King’s College.         A damaged tooth’s enamel can be replaced naturally, but the process is too slow to stop the work of bacteriathat build up in tiny cracks. Now, a British company called Reminova has developed a method for speeding upthis natural remineralization of early-stage cavities.         “We’ve just found a way to make that a much faster process,” said Jeff Wright, Reminova’s chief executiveofficer. “Driving healthy calcium and phosphate minerals into your enamel, and through a natural process, itwill bind on and add to the enamel that’s there.”         Here’s how it works: After cleaning the early-stage cavity with a method that does not require drilling, thedentist covers it with a mineral solution and applies an electrical current that is too weak for the patient to feel.The deposited mineral quickly hardens, completely filling the cavity.         Researchers say this method could be especially useful for children.         “If children have a better experience of going to the dentist, so they haven’t had necessary drilling andinjections for routine fillings, then they’ll be much more positive in later life and probably become much moreregular patients,” said Dr. Barry Quinn, a consultant at King’s College.         Dentists point out that the new method is most efficient on early-stage cavities, which makes regular dentalcheckups essential. The whole treatment lasts about as long as a regular drill-and-fill procedure.         Researchers say they are confident that the new method can be further developed for treating later-stagecavities. And they remind us that regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste helps prevent cavities in the firstplace.

For over a hundred years, dentists have been repairing cavities by removing the decayed tooth tissue with a drill and filling the hole with metal or plastic material. Depending on the cavity’s depth, this method can be unpleasant to downright painful for the patient, and it has to be repeated periodically. 一百多年來,牙醫通過用鑽頭去除蛀牙組織並用金屬或塑料填充孔洞來修復蛀牙(decayed tooth)。根據腔體的深度,這種方法可能會使患者感到非常痛苦,因此必須定期(periodically)重複進行。“You’re really in that cycle of repair and replacement for the rest of the tooth’s life,” said Rebecca Moazzea, s...

感覺A跟B應該都算符合文義,但是文中應該是沒有提到可以完全取代鑽孔治療技術,B選項語意感覺好像比較溫和一點
