"The simplest propositions can be combined with each other to form new and more complex propositions through the use of logical operators and quantifier connectors. These tools of logic allow us to construct broader statements starting from basic concepts, thus facilitating the formulation of theorems and proofs in mathematics and other disciplines that require precision and rigor.
"The simplest propositions can be combined with each other to form new and more complex propositions through the use of logical operators and quantifier connectors. These tools of logic allow us to construct broader statements starting from basic concepts, thus facilitating the formulation of theorems and proofs in mathematics and other disciplines that require precision and rigor.


The fundamental logical operators include:<ref><!--68-->For the sake of simplicity of exposition and reading, we will deal in this chapter with the ''symbol of belonging'', the ''symbol of consequence'' and the "''such that''" as if they were quantifiers and connectives of propositions in classical logic.<br><!--69-->Strictly speaking, within classical logic they should not be treated as such, but even if we do, this does not absolutely change the meaning of the speech and no inconsistencies of any kind are created.</ref>
The fundamental logical operators include:


'''Conjunction''', denoted by the symbol <math>\land</math> (and): represents the logical operation "AND". A compound proposition formed by two propositions joined with "and" is true only if both propositions are true.

In addition to the confirmations derived from the medical language logic discussed in the previous chapter, the dentist acquires further instrumental data that strengthen his diagnosis. These tests include the analysis of axiographic traces, obtained through the use of a custom-made functional paraocclusal fork. This tool allows for the visualization and quantification of the condylar paths during masticatory functions. As shown in Figure 4, the flattening of the condylar traces on the right side, both in the mediotrusive masticatory kinetics (indicated in green) and in the opening and protrusion cycles (in grey), confirms the anatomical and functional flattening of the right TMJ during the dynamics of mastication.

In addition to axiography, surface electromyography on the masseter muscles is performed (see Figure 6), during which the patient is asked to exert maximum muscle force. This type of electromyographic analysis, called 'EMG Interferential Pattern', is characterized by the high-frequency content of the peaks showing phase interference. Indeed, Figure 6 highlights an asymmetry in the recruitment of motor units between the right masseter (upper trace) and the left masseter (lower trace).<ref>{{cite book

The CPs were evaluated using conventional axiography, while the LG was examined through kinesiographic tracing analysis.<ref>[https://www.myotronics.com/ Myotronics Inc., Kent, WA, US]</ref> It was found that seventeen patients, corresponding to 71% of the total sample, habitually preferred to chew on one side. The mean and standard deviation of the CP angles were 47.90 (± 9.24) degrees, while the mean of the LG angles was 42.95 (± 11.78) degrees.

The study results contributed to the definition of a new paradigm for TMDs, suggesting that the side affected by the disorder might coincide with the habitual chewing side, especially when the lateral mandibular cinematic angle is flatter. This parameter further supports the dental assertion regarding the correlation between chewing habits and the development of TMDs.

In conclusion, adopting a classical dichotomous approach in medical language, which tends to categorize conditions in black or white, fails to capture the numerous nuances present in clinical realities. Therefore, exploring a more flexible and suitable linguistic approach is necessary...
