| El paso de la lógica clásica a la lógica formal no implica agregar un detalle menor ya que requiere una descripción precisa. Aunque la tecnología médica y dental ha desarrollado modelos y dispositivos impresionantes en muchas disciplinas de rehabilitación odontológica, como electromiógrafos, tomografía computarizada de haz cónico, escaneo digital oral, etc., el lenguaje médico aún necesita mejorar. | | El paso de la lógica clásica a la lógica formal no implica agregar un detalle menor ya que requiere una descripción precisa.

− | First of all, we must distinguish between natural languages (English, German, Italian, etc.) and formal languages, such as mathematics. The natural ones emerge naturally in social communities as much as in scientific communities. Simultaneously, the formal languages are artificially built for use in disciplines such as mathematics, logic and computer programming. Formal languages are characterized by ''syntax'' and ''semantics'' with precise rules, while a natural language has a fairly vague syntax known as ''grammar'' and lacks any explicit semantics.

| To keep this study active and engaging, and to avoid it degenerating into a boring treatise on the philosophy of science, let’s consider a very explanatory clinical case. We will deal with it using different languages: | | To keep this study active and engaging, and to avoid it degenerating into a boring treatise on the philosophy of science, let’s consider a very explanatory clinical case.
