Emerging studies focus on innovative strategies for manipulating the oral microbiome, including the use of bacteriophages, engineered probiotics, and dietary interventions to promote oral health and prevent disease. - Role of the Oral Microbiome in Cancer:
Research is increasingly focused on the role of oral microbiota in cancer development and progression, particularly in head and neck cancers and their interactions with systemic diseases, showcasing the potential for microbiome-targeted therapies. - Technological Advances in Microbiome Analysis:
The application of advanced technologies, including next-generation sequencing and metagenomic approaches, is on the rise, enabling comprehensive analyses of the oral microbiome and its functional capabilities. - Exploration of Mycobiome Interactions:
There is a growing interest in the interactions between the oral mycobiome and bacteriome, as well as their collective impact on oral health and disease, indicating a shift towards understanding the full spectrum of oral microbial communities.
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.
