Declining or Waning
- Traditional Histopathological Techniques:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications focusing solely on traditional histopathological methods, as newer technologies and molecular techniques gain traction. - General Reviews on Oral Diseases:
The frequency of broad, non-specific reviews on oral diseases has diminished, with a shift towards more targeted studies that provide specific insights or novel findings. - Basic Clinical Case Reports:
The journal has seen a decline in the number of basic case reports, particularly those that do not offer significant new insights or advancements in understanding oral pathology. - Studies on Non-Malignant Lesions:
Research focused on benign or non-malignant oral lesions appears to be less frequent, as the journal increasingly prioritizes studies with direct implications for malignant conditions and cancer diagnostics. - Epidemiological Studies of Common Dental Conditions:
While epidemiological research continues, there is a decline in studies addressing common dental conditions, as the focus shifts toward more complex and less understood diseases.
