The text discusses various topics regarding the epistemological evolution of science in general, particularly focusing on medicine and dentistry. The author previews the themes to be addressed in Masticationpedia, emphasizing concepts such as "Statistical Inference" and "Interdisciplinarity" according to Kuhn's paradigms. It is underscored that scientific discipline goes through cyclical phases, according to Kuhn, with moments of paradigm shift. In the context of dentistry, for instance, attention will be given to the "Paradigm Crisis" and "Scientific Revolution," aiming to introduce new paradigms in the field of masticatory rehabilitation. | The text discusses various topics regarding the epistemological evolution of science in general, particularly focusing on medicine and dentistry.

The text also delves into epistemology, examining the conditions for acquiring scientific knowledge and the methods to achieve it. Issues such as the verifiability of theories and the importance of statistics in the scientific realm are addressed, highlighting how concepts like P-value have been subject to debate and revision. | ||

Furthermore, the importance of interdisciplinary research is highlighted, emphasizing the need for 'metacognitive scaffolds' to facilitate communication and understanding across different disciplines. | Furthermore, the importance of interdisciplinary research is highlighted, emphasizing the need for 'metacognitive scaffolds' to facilitate communication and understanding across different disciplines. | ||
