‘The progress of Science is essentially an anarchic process’
Paul Karl Feyerabend

Change the 'Paradigm' by joining us

Normal Science

Introduction

• Logic of medical language
  • The logic of classical language
  • The logic of the probabilistic language
  • Fuzzy language logic
  • System logic
• The Complex Systems
• 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

• 1° Clinical case: Emimasticatory spasm
  • Encrypted code: Ephaptic transmission

Bruxism

• 2° Clinical case: Pineal Cavernoma
  • Encrypted code: Hyperexcitability of the trigeminal system

Occlusion and Posture

• 3° Clinical case: Meningioma
  • Encrypted code: Bilateral Motor Evoked Potentials of trigeminal root

Orofacial Pain

Are we sure to know everything?

• 6° Clinical case: Facial onset sensory and motor neuronopathy
• 7° Clinical case: Brainstem neoplasm in Orofacial pain
• Conclusion of the ‘Normal Science’ section

Crisis of Paradigm

Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC)

• Masticatory cycles
  • Jaw opening width
  • Speed of mandibular movement
  • Complexity of chewing kinematics​

Temporomandibular Joint

• Computerized Tomography of the TMJ
• Magnetic resonance imaging of the TMJ

Mandibular kinematic replicators

• Advantages and limits of  Kinematic replicators
  • Pantography
  • Axiography
  • Electrognatography

Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation
