Dependent from the probabilities of success and failure, one takes risks in daily live. These probabilities are in some instances easily estimated, in other circumstances more difficult to determine. The latter holds especially true in case of 'conditional' probabilities. In regard to dentistry, these probabilities are of importance too; if, for instance, one has to choose between endodontic treatment versus extraction, obliteration of the rootcanal and periapical pathologic processes posses a negative influence on success. This article describes how a probability is changed when a condition datum is assimilated, with use of fictive examples.
根据成功和失败的概率，人们在日常生活中会冒险。这些概率在某些情况下很容易估计，而在其他情况下则更难确定。后者在“条件”概率的情况下尤其如此。对于牙科来说，这些概率也很重要；例如，如果必须在根管治疗和拔牙之间做出选择，根管的闭塞和根尖周病理过程会对成功产生负面影响。本文通过虚构的例子描述了在吸收条件数据时概率是如何变化的。
