+'''Abstract:''' This study addresses the epistemological foundations of the concept of 'Malocclusion,' proposing a neurophysiologicalreinterpretation that challenges the traditional orthodontic perspective. Through the analysis of clinical cases, the limits of classical macroscopic observation in diagnosing malocclusion are highlighted, introducing a quantum interpretation that considers the superposition of system states. Specifically, Schrödinger’s paradox is explored as a metaphor to describe how a complex system, like the masticatory system, can exist in a mixed state, which cannot be reduced to a simple dichotomy of healthy versus sick.
+The clinical example of a patient who underwent orthognathic surgery (Figure 2) demonstrates how an apparently "normal" occlusal condition can conceal severe trigeminal system anomalies, revealed only through advanced electrophysiological tests. Conversely, a patient with clear signs of malocclusion (Figure 1) might present a more balanced neurophysiological profile. These findings suggest that macroscopic observable reality may not fully reflect the deeper state of the system.
+By applying principles of quantum physics, such as the superposition of states and wave function collapse, we argue that classical clinical observation is insufficient to grasp the complexity of the masticatory system. Only through the integration of advanced diagnostic techniques, like trigeminal motor evoked potentials (Root-MEPs) and other neurophysiological methods, can diagnostic uncertainty be reduced, enhancing the ability to detect underlying dysfunctions early on.
+The study calls for a reconsideration of the concept of 'Normocclusion' and a reassessment of current diagnostic models, proposing an interdisciplinary approach that bridges neurophysiology and dentistry. This work paves the way for a new understanding of the masticatory system, moving beyond rigid statistical classification and embracing a more dynamic and complex view of dental and neurological health.
