We cannot provide a conventional answer because science does not progress with assertions that are not justified by scientifically validated questions and reflections; and this is actually the reason why we will try to give voice to some thoughts, perplexities and doubts expressed on some basic topics brought into discussion in some scientific articles.

In the chapter "[[Introduction]]" we  posed certain questions on the subject of malocclusion but in this context we simulate the dentist's logic of medical language when faced with the clinical case presented in the "Introduction chapter" with its diagnostic and therapeutic conclusions.

If the same case were interpreted with a mindset that followed a 'System's language logic' (it will be discussed in the appropriate chapter), the conclusions would be surprising.

If we observe the electrophysiological responses performed on the patient with malocclusion in figures 1b, 1c and 1d (with the explanation made directly in the caption to simplify the discussion), we shall notice that these data can make us think about anything except a 'Malocclusion' and, therefore, the axioms of type orthodontic and orthognathics 'cause/effect' leave a conceptual void.<gallery widths="350" heights="282" perrow="2" mode="slideshow">

From a perspective of observation of this kind, the Logic of Predicates can only fortify the dentist’s reasoning and, at the same time, strengthen the <u>principle of the excluded third</u>: the principle is strengthened through the compatibility of the additional assertions <math>(\delta_1,\delta_2,.....\delta_n \ )</math> which grant the dentist a complete coherence in the diagnosis and in confirming the sentence <math>\Im</math>: Poor Mary Poppins either has TMD, or she has not.{{q4|...<!--224-->and what if, with the advancement of research, new phenomena were discovered that would prove the neurologist right, instead of the dentist?|}}

Basically, given the compatibility of the assertions <math>(\delta_1,\delta_2,.....\delta_n \ )</math>, coherently saying that Orofacial Pain is caused by a Temporomandibular Disorders could become incompatible if another series of assertions <math>(\gamma_1,\gamma_2,.....\gamma_n \ )</math> were shown to be coherent: this would make a different sentence compatible <math>\Im</math>: could poor Mary Poppins suffer from Orofacial Pain from a neuromotor disorder (<sub>n</sub>OP) and not by a Temporomandibular Disorders?

In conclusion, it is evident that a classical logic of language, which has an extremely dichotomous approach (either it is white or it is black), cannot depict the many shades that occur in real clinical situations.
