The Science-based Network
Be among the first to stand out, dentistry is Science and not fashion
Masticationpedia is a non-profit Anglo-Saxon organization, operating as a charity in dental medical research, particularly focusing on the neurophysiology of masticatory rehabilitation. Its mission is to create a platform for scientific and professional sharing, providing information on innovative clinical procedures to both professionals and the general public. A key component of this initiative is the "Masticationpedia Network," a consortium of specialized centers that employ neurophysiological technologies for masticatory rehabilitation. These centers operate under the exclusive Masticationpedia brand, ensuring a scientifically and clinically replicable approach across various geographic areas.
Currently, two Masticationpedia Networks are operational in Italy:
- Frisardi Masticationpedia Network The Frisardi Masticationpedia Network, located in Nettuno, is led by Dr. Gianni Frisardi, who graduated in Medicine and Surgery in 1983 and specialized in Odontostomatology in 1987 at the "La Sapienza" University of Rome. He is joined by Dr. Flavio Frisardi, who earned his degree in Dentistry in 2002 from the University of Ancona.
This centre is distinguished by its social commitment, offering projects such as diagnostics for orofacial pain to the community, in alignment with the objectives of Anglo-Saxon charities. These initiatives provide direct social benefits, stemming from the ethical and personal choices of the professionals involved.
- Fontana Masticationpedia Network The Fontana Masticationpedia Network, based in Como, is directed by Dr. Luca Fontana, who graduated in Medicine and Surgery in 1985 from the University of Milan.
This centre shares the social mission of the Masticationpedia project, offering diagnostic services for orofacial pain and promoting an interdisciplinary approach to masticatory rehabilitation.
MASTICATIONPEDIA NETWORK
Both networks exemplify Masticationpedia's commitment to disseminating specialized medical knowledge and providing advanced clinical support, ensuring a scientifically and clinically replicable approach across various geographic areas.
These centers not only offer advanced clinical services but also engage in social projects, such as diagnostics for orofacial pains, providing their expertise to the public in alignment with the goals of Anglo-Saxon charities.
In summary, the Masticationpedia Network represents an innovative model in the field of masticatory rehabilitation, promoting an interdisciplinary and scientifically grounded approach to enhance the quality of dental care. To affiliate with the Masticationpedia Network, practitioners are required to complete a training course on trigeminal neurophysiological procedures applicable to prosthetic, implant-prosthetic, orthodontic, and orthognathic masticatory rehabilitation.
