The RDC adopts a two-axis diagnostic model: Axis I covers clinical diagnoses, classifying TMD into three groups: muscle conditions, meniscal dislocation, and joint disorders such as arthralgia and arthritis.

Masticationpedia is a not-for-profit Anglo-Saxon organization, it is a Charity that operates in dental medical research, in particular in the field of the neurophysiology of masticatory rehabilitation.
A significant limitation of the RDC is its exclusion of certain instrumental diagnostic methodologies, which may restrict early differential diagnosis, especially when distinguishing between TMD and organic neurological or systemic diseases that present with similar symptoms.

We know well that in the myriad of scientific journals, training courses and anything else the profession is becoming inflated with repetitive and sometimes incomplete news. It is therefore legitimate to ask ourselves: 'What is the cultural and professional contribution coming from Masticationpedia'
 
For this reason, we present a preview of one of the concluding chapters in which the scientific and editorial philosophy that Masticationpedia aims to transmit is evident.
 
 
If you want to understand the clinical scientific process and the scientific philosophy of Masticationpedia, you can follow the [[Book index|index of the book]], but you have to be registered.

Einstein's metaphor is emblematic: the theory is when we know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but we don't know why. In any case, we always combine theory and practice: nothing works and we don't know why. Basically, this also happens in dentistry where everything doesn't work and we don't know why.
 
Well, Masticationpedia aims to probe the functional properties of the masticatory functions, ranging in various fields of science without prejudices or corporate ideologies to grasp the access key to the system.

If shared, this scientific-clinical know-how will be converted into specific 'Centers' that will employ neurophysiological technologies for masticatory rehabilitation called Masticationpedia Network and will be the exclusive brand of each affiliated dentist.
