  5. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Materials:
    An increasing focus on environmentally friendly materials and sustainable practices in dentistry is evident, with research aimed at reducing waste and utilizing bio-based materials.

Declining or Waning

As the field of dental materials evolves, certain areas of research that were once prominent may be experiencing a decline in focus. This may reflect shifts in technology, clinical practices, or research funding priorities.
  1. Traditional Ceramics:
    Research on traditional ceramic materials may be waning as newer materials, such as resin composites and 3D-printed ceramics, gain popularity due to their enhanced properties and ease of use.
  2. Conventional Adhesives:
    The emphasis on older adhesive systems is decreasing as advancements in adhesive technology, including self-etching and universal adhesives, become more prevalent and effective.
  3. Amalgam Restorations:
    With the increasing focus on aesthetic materials and concerns about mercury exposure, studies on dental amalgam are declining, reflecting a shift towards more modern restorative materials.
  4. Invasive Techniques for Restoration:
    Research focusing on invasive restoration techniques is declining as minimally invasive approaches and biomimetic strategies become more favored in clinical practice.
  5. Single-Use Materials:
    There is less emphasis on single-use materials due to the growing interest in sustainable practices and the development of reusable materials in dentistry.
