Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Studies:
Research centered on traditional antibiotic susceptibility testing in oral pathogens appears to be decreasing, possibly due to the growing focus on alternative therapies, such as probiotics and novel antimicrobial agents. - Simple Correlations Between Oral Microbiota and Disease:
Studies that merely correlate the presence of specific bacteria with disease outcomes without exploring underlying mechanisms or interactions are becoming less common, as the field moves towards more integrative and mechanistic approaches. - Isolated Studies on Individual Pathogens:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies solely focused on single pathogens without considering their ecological context within the oral microbiome, as researchers increasingly recognize the importance of multispecies interactions. - Limited Focus on Historical Microbial Studies:
Research that strictly examines historical microbial profiles without connecting them to contemporary clinical implications is waning, reflecting a shift towards more relevant and timely investigations.
