In this chapter, we will discuss current medical language. Specifically, we will discuss the study of the relationships between linguistic expressions and the world to which they refer, or which they should describe.

The conclusion is that once the vagueness and ambiguity of this form of language (and therefore the negative consequences that all this entails) have been revealed, there is a need to make it more precise and complete.

Language is a source of misunderstandings and errors and in medicine: actually, often the language we use leaves us in trouble because it is semantically underdeveloped and does not agree with standard scientific ideas. To better explain this concept, which apparently seems off-topic, we must describe some essential characteristics of the logic of language that will make us better understand why a term like ''orofacial pain'' can take on a different meaning following a classical logic or a formal one.

The passage from classical logic to formal logic does not imply adding a minor detail as it requires an accurate description. Although medical and dental technology has developed breathtaking models and devices in many dentistry rehabilitation disciplines, such as electromyographs, cone-beam CT, fingerprints, etc., the medical language still needs improvement.

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.

Traditionally, a term is displayed as a linguistic label meaning an object in a world, concrete or abstract. The term is thought to stand in the language as a representative for that object, e.g. ‘apple’ for the famous fruit. This term ‘apple’ will have the same meaning for the American child, the European adult or the Chinese elder, while the meaning ‘<sub>n</sub>OP’ will have an intention for the neurologist, one for the dentist, and its own essence the unfortunate Mary Poppins.

Such expressions do not derive their meaning from representing something in the world out there, but how they relate to other terms within one’s world or context.

We can conveniently say, therefore, that the meaning of a term with respect to a particular language is an ordered couple, consisting of extension and intension, in a world that we will now call ‘context’.

It should also be noted that the Biological System sends a uniquely integrated encrypted message to the outside, in the sense that each piece of code will have a precise meaning when individually taken, while if combined with all the others it will generate the complete code corresponding to the real message, that is to "Efapsi".
In short, an instrumental report (or a series of instrumental reports) is not enough to decrypt the machine message in an exact way corresponding to reality. If we expect the message to be decrypted from 2/3 of the code, which perhaps corresponds to a series of laboratory investigations, we would get the following decryption result:
{{q2|Ef+£2|}}
This outcome comes from the deletion of the last two elements of the originating code: <math>13375545765503</math> resulting from <math>133755457655037A</math>. So, part of the code is decrypted ('''Ef''') while the rest remains encrypted and the conclusion speaks for itself: it is not enough to identify a series of specific tests, yet it is necessary to know how to tie them together in a specific way in order to complete the real concept and build the diagnosis.
Therefore, there is a need for:
