Predictika · Dental implant orders
An AI sales agent prepares an implant order for a dental practice: the implant line, diameter and length, the healing abutments, cover screws and abutments, the restoration planned, the bone height at the site and any discount. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the Nobel Biocare conical connection range, and returns a verdict, every reason and the order total it computed.
This validator models conical connection implant orders, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any conical connection implant order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: NobelProcera restorations, the N1 system, guided surgery and instruments. Implant lines, diameters, lengths, platforms and abutment families come from the public Nobel Biocare conical connection product overview; the site-region and bone-margin rules, the discount thresholds and every price are modeled assumptions, not published by Nobel Biocare, and all prices on this page are illustrative amounts in US dollars.

What this means
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.
| What the validator caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Components that depend on the implant platform | Only with care Abutments and healing abutments must match the implant platform, and the heights offered differ by platform, so each family needs its own lookup rule. | The implant platform and every component are in one order and checked together on every call. |
| Clinical limits such as bone height and implant length | Only with workarounds Bone height must clear the implant length plus a margin, and the length depends on the line, so a rule is needed per line. | The implant length and the bone height are compared directly on every call. |
| Restoration rules, such as implants per bridge and the abutment family | Only with workarounds Which abutment family fits which restoration, and how many implants it needs, spread across several rules that have to agree. | The restoration is a field of the order and is checked against the abutment family and the implant count. |
| Approval steps next to hard blocks, for discount and unusual sites | Only with workarounds A discount has two thresholds and unusual sites need a clinician, so approval rules must exclude whatever the block rules already catch. | Blocks and approvals are separate findings, returned together in one pass. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only with workarounds Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next. | All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in. |
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.
| 1 | This implant diameter and length (10.0 mm) is not in the Nobel Biocare conical connection catalog for the chosen implant line. |
| 2 | The abutment is for a different prosthetic platform than the implant (implant platform RP, abutment platform NP). |
| 3 | The healing abutment is for a different prosthetic platform than the implant (implant platform RP, healing abutment platform WP). |
| 4 | This abutment family is not offered on the chosen prosthetic platform (the 3.0 platform has Esthetic Abutments only). |
| 5 | An abutment height of 4.5 mm is not offered for this abutment family and platform. |
| 6 | A two-stage placement needs a cover screw for each implant and the quote has none (only NobelReplace CC PMC includes it). |
| 7 | NobelReplace CC PMC implants include the cover screw; a person should confirm the extra one is intended. |
| 8 | The 3.0 mm NobelActive implant is limited to narrow anterior sites in this model. |
| 9 | A 3.5 mm implant in a molar site is unusually narrow; a clinician should confirm. |
| 10 | A 5.5 mm implant in an anterior site is unusually wide; a clinician should confirm. |
| 11 | The available bone height is 12.5 mm; this implant needs 11.0 mm plus a 2 mm safety margin. |
| 12 | A bridge or overdenture restoration needs at least 2 implants; the quote has 1. |
| 13 | The chosen abutment family does not suit this restoration (Locator R-Tx is for overdentures, Multi-unit Abutment Plus is for bridges and overdentures). |
| 14 | The quote has 3 abutments for 4 implants; each implant needs one. |
| 15 | The order has 9 implants; more than 8 in one case needs a person to confirm. |
| 16 | The quote gives a 20 percent discount; discounts above 15 percent need a person to approve. |
| 17 | The quote gives a 35 percent discount; this model allows at most 30 percent. |
| 18 | The order states $676.00 in total; the components quoted add up to $675.00. |
