 [[File:Occlusal Centric view in open and cross bite patient.jpg|350x350px|left]]"Masticationpedia" provides an in-depth analysis of paradigm shifts in the realm of dentistry and masticatory rehabilitation, rooted in Thomas Kuhn's seminal theories on scientific revolutions. According to Kuhn, scientific progress is not linear but is marked by episodic paradigm shifts that disrupt normal scientific activities and lead to profound changes in prevailing theories and practices. These paradigm shifts are critical junctures where existing anomalies in the normal science become insurmountable, prompting the scientific community to adopt new frameworks that radically alter the conceptual landscape<ref>{{cita libro | autore = Kuhn Thomas S | titolo = The Structure of Scientific Revolutions | url = https://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo13179781.html | anno = 2012 | editore = University of Chicago Press | città = Chicago | ISBN = 9780226458120 }}</ref>.

 Overall, "Masticationpedia" challenges conventional dental practices and scientific approaches, proposing an integrated model that enhances understanding and treatment of masticatory disorders. It calls for rethinking the foundations of dental science, advocating for a holistic, integrated, and patient-focused approach that embraces the complexities of human health. This vision is supported by a robust critique of traditional methodologies and a call for embracing new, interdisciplinary paradigms that can lead to significant advancements in dental science and patient care.

It begins by examining the epistemological transformation of science through the lens of Kuhn's paradigms, emphasizing the importance of paradigmatic changes that science, including dentistry, has experienced and continues to experience. The document outlines the stages of paradigmatic change proposed by Kuhn, applying them to the field of dentistry, where it highlights a paradigmatic crisis that calls for an evolution towards new paradigms, especially in masticatory rehabilitation. The discussion extends to epistemology, considering how science acquires knowledge and addresses the issue of the verifiability of scientific theories. A critical emphasis is placed on the use and interpretation of the P value in scientific statistics, highlighting the ongoing debate about its reliability as an indicator.
-The text strongly emphasizes the crucial role of interdisciplinary research, proposing the use of "metacognitive scaffolds" to overcome communicative difficulties between different disciplines. It proposes a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to understanding masticatory disorders, particularly malocclusion, which is explored not only from the traditional orthodontic perspective but also through a broader lens that considers the masticatory system as a whole.
-Through the examination of a clinical case study, the traditional interpretation of malocclusion is questioned, suggesting that understanding malocclusion requires a view that considers the complexity of the masticatory system and its interaction with the nervous system. The introduction concludes by highlighting the importance of paradigmatic innovations that go beyond incremental improvements, to embrace a change in thinking that profoundly influences masticatory science.
-This approach represents an invitation to overcome the limits of traditional dental conventions, proposing a model of understanding and treatment of masticatory disorders that is truly interdisciplinary, based on principles of open and inclusive science, oriented towards the acceptance of uncertainty, and the holistic evaluation of the patient.
