<translate><!--T:5--> 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.</translate> <translate><!--T:6--> 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.</translate>

<translate><!--T:7--> 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.</translate>

<translate><!--T:8--> First of all, we must distinguish between natural languages (English, German, Italian, etc.) and formal languages, such as mathematics.</translate> <translate><!--T:9--> 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.</translate>
