Declining or Waning
- Traditional Behavior Management Techniques:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focused solely on conventional behavior management techniques, as newer, evidence-based approaches gain popularity and acceptance. - Invasive Dental Procedures:
Research on invasive procedures for treating dental issues in children has seen a decline, as there is a growing trend towards conservative and minimally invasive treatment options. - General Anesthesia in Pediatric Dentistry:
The frequency of studies examining the use of general anesthesia for dental procedures in children has diminished, possibly due to increased emphasis on non-invasive techniques and behavior management alternatives. - Historical Perspectives on Pediatric Dental Treatments:
There is a waning interest in historical studies and reviews of pediatric dental treatments, as contemporary research focuses more on current practices and innovations. - Orthodontic Treatments for Mild Malocclusions:
