'''Abstract:''' This chapter explores the complexities of medical language, particularly within the context of diagnosis and treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and Orofacial Pain (OP). Medical language often leads to misunderstandings due to its hybrid nature, blending everyday language with specialized terms, which can be interpreted differently across medical disciplines. This is exemplified in the clinical case of Mary Poppins, who has suffered from OP for over a decade, with conflicting diagnoses from a dentist and a neurologist. The dentist diagnosed her with TMD based on clinical tests like axiography, electromyography (EMG), and radiographic imaging, while the neurologist attributed her pain to a neuromotor disorder (nOP). | |||

The chapter examines how classical logic language, used in traditional medical diagnostics, supports the dentist's diagnosis, focusing on the compatibility of evidence like condylar remodeling and masticatory muscle activity. However, the chapter also highlights the limitations of this approach, showing that new electrophysiological data could challenge the dentist’s assumptions and open the door to different interpretations of OP’s origins. | The chapter examines how classical logic language, used in traditional medical diagnostics, supports the dentist's diagnosis, focusing on the compatibility of evidence like condylar remodeling and masticatory muscle activity.
