PURPOSE When soft tissue flaps are reflected for implant placement, the blood supply from the periosteum to the bone is disrupted. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the flapless (FL) and full-thickness flap (FT) techniques on implant stability. Methods : Nine patients received 22 implants. The implants were placed using the FL technique on the contralateral side of the jaw; th...

Incremental closure is a proof search technique for free variable analytic tableaux where partial solutions are updated along with tableaux expansion. In this paper we address possible adaptations of the incremental closure technique to variable splitting tableaux. Variable splitting tableaux provide a sound way to instantiate occurrences of the same variable in different branches differently b...

We present a technique for eeciently evaluating queries on programs with mono-tonic aggregation, a class of programs deened by Ross and Sagiv. Our technique consists of the following components: incremental computation of aggregate functions , incremental xpoint evaluation of monotonic programs and Magic Sets transformation of monotonic programs. We also present a formalization of the notion of...
