Declining or Waning
- Traditional Laser Treatments in Dentistry:
There has been a noticeable shift away from traditional laser applications in dentistry, with a growing focus on innovative PBM techniques and their advantages over conventional methods. - General Pain Management without Specific Applications:
Research that discusses the general use of laser therapy for pain management, without specific applications or conditions, seems to be less frequent, as studies are now more targeted towards particular diseases or patient demographics. - Basic Science Studies on Photobiomodulation:
There is a decreasing trend in purely basic science studies that focus on the fundamental properties of laser light and its interactions with tissue, as the journal increasingly prioritizes clinical applications and translational research. - Single-Modal Treatment Studies:
Research focusing solely on single-modal treatments (e.g., PBM alone without adjunct therapies) is becoming less common, as there is a stronger emphasis on combination therapies that integrate PBM with other treatment modalities.
