Malocclusion Rethought
From “bad bite” to a broader paradigm: Occlusal Dysmorphisms
In 30 seconds: many “malocclusions” show functional symmetry at neurophysiological tests (MEP, jaw-jerk). Purely occlusal targets risk relapse if neuro-muscular factors are ignored. An interdisciplinary model improves long-term stability.
🔹 Why this matters
• Electrophysiology can reveal balanced trigeminal dynamics even with occlusal issues.
• A mechanistic-only view may miss neural drivers of orofacial dysfunction.
• Integrating occlusion + neurophysiology reduces relapses and improves outcomes.
📘 What you’ll learn
• How complexity science reframes occlusal stability.
• Why “malocclusion” is often an insufficient label.
• The clinical role of Occlusal Dysmorphisms in rehabilitation.

Paradigm shifts: science can change perspective overnight.
📑 Evidence & further reading
- Dental Malocclusion (classical view)
- Epistemology and paradigm shifts (Kuhn)
- Complex systems and emergent behavior
