Book index

As can be seen from the 'Book Index', the scientific editorial work is what that Gianni Frisardi, who gave the idea of founding Masticationpedia, would have liked to find 40 years ago when he began to take an interest in 'Masticatory Rehabilitation'. At the same time, the project is also a pharaonic adventure given the vastness of the topics covered.

This requires the participation of the whole 'Scientific Community' to hope to reach the paradigmatic conclusion of normalizing the 'Masticatory function' to the Central Nervous System responses rather than to the gnathological axioms.

For these reasons the work has been divided according to Kuhn's phases which are most decisive for the paradigmatic changes in science which are, in fact, phase 2 which corresponds to Normal Science; phase 4 which corresponds to the Crisis of the Paradigm and phase 5 which kicks off the scientific revolution called Extraordinary Science.
