Logic of medical language: Introduction to quantum-like probability in the masticatory system
Conclusions on the status quo in the logic of medical language regarding the masticatory system
Hemimasticatory spasm Temporomandibular Joint Are we sure to know everything?
Hemimasticatory spasm​
  • 1° Clinical case: Emimasticatory spasm​
    • Encrypted code: Ephaptic transmission
  • Computerized Tomography of the TMJ
  • Magnetic resonance imaging of the TMJ
Bruxism Mandibular kinematic replicators
  • 2° Clinical case: Pineal Cavernoma​
    • Encrypted code: Hyperexcitability of the trigeminal system
  • Advantages and limits of  Kinematic replicators
    • Pantography
    • Axiography
    • Electrognatography
Occlusion and Posture Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation
  • 3° Clinical case: Meningioma​
    • Encrypted code: Bilateral Motor Evoked Potentials of trigeminal root
  • Free way space before stimulation
  • Free way space after stimulation
  • Closing trajectory from TENS
Orofacial Pain Electromyography (EMG)
  • 4° Clinical case: Temporomandibular disorders​​​​
  • 5° Clinical case: Spontaneous Electromyographic Activity
  • EMG  Interferential pattern
  • EMG at rest position
  • Quantitative analysis of the EMG
    • Fourier transform
    • Wavelett
Are we sure to know everything? Conclusions to the Paradigm crisis section
  • 6° Clinical case: Facial onset sensory and motor neuronopathy
  • 7° Clinical case: Brainstem neoplasm in Orofacial pain
  • Conclusion of Normal Science chapter
  • Incompleteness in the 'Research Diagnostic Criteria'
  • Need for a new paradigm
