The scientific and editorial work of Masticationpedia is an innovative model but one of considerable complexity and vastness. Innovative because it follows a conceptual aim, that of the rehabilitation of the masticatory system, for which all the contents will be responsive to this target. Complex for the contents that will never be considered certain but in continuous evolution through the desirable brainstorming that will be generated at each chapter on the 'Discussion' page. Vast for multilingual publishing that requires real technical support.

All this can be achieved faster with the help of the International Dental Community which, through corrections, suggestions and translations of the chapters, will be able to complete a pharaonic work and make it a
