In clinical cases—precisely because patients rarely possess advanced notions of medicine—subjective uncertainty must be considered. Living with uncertainty requires us to use a probabilistic approach.

The casuality indicates the lack of certain connection between cause and effect. The uncertainty of a close union between the source and the phenomenon is among the most adverse problems in determining a diagnosis.

In a clinical case a phenomenon <math>A(x)</math> (such as for example a malocclusion, a crossbite, an openbite, etc ...) is randomly associated with another phenomenon <math>B(x)</math> (such as TMJ bone degeneration) when there are exceptions for which the logical proposition <math>A(x) \rightarrow B(x)</math> it's not always true (but it is most of the time). In that case it will say that <math>A(x) \rightarrow B(x)</math>it is not always true but it is probable.{{q2|We pass from a deterministic condition to a stochastic one.|}}
