Abstract

Dental implant therapy demonstrates high long-term survival; however, biological, behavioral, and technical complications remain prevalent. The objective of this project report was to introduce GF-Predictability for Dental Implants (GF-PreDImp), a novel, comprehensive pre-surgical multidimensional scoring proposal designed to quantify implant success predictability through a structured, evidence-based system. The model integrates six domains, Biological, Behavioral, Hard tissue, Soft tissue, Implant, and Prosthetic, assessing variables into a 100-point composite index. The domains evaluate systemic conditions (20 pts), behavioral habits (20 pts), hard-tissue anatomy (20 pts), soft-tissue characteristics (15 pts), implant parameters (15 pts), and prosthetic/surgical factors (10 pts). The final GF-PreDImp score categorizes predictability into five levels: excellent (≥85), good (70–84), moderate to guarded (55–69), guarded to high risk (40–54), and poor (<40). The tool generates dynamic visual outputs, including radar charts, enabling rapid clinical interpretation. While GF-PreDImp provides a framework for individualized risk stratification, it currently serves as a design proposal. Its implementation can improve clinical decision-making and enhance long-term implant outcomes. Further clinical assessments must be done to confirm the findings in future studies.
