Sharing medical data for patient path analysis with data mining method.

The Agora Data project started in October 1997 in France. The objective was to share medical data between several medical institutions to analysis medical care pathways for patients that suffer from low back pain. The analysis of the medical records decomposed in three steps allowed us to produce knowledge on medical contacts of patients with the health care system. In order to study the relations between these contacts, we created medical path of patients within the framework of the possible contacts we had isolated. This work relates the implementation and the first results of the pilot study.

The palatal subepithelial connective tissue flap method for soft tissue management to cover maxillary defects: a clinical report.

This article presents a technique for soft tissue reconstruction and covering defects associated with maxillary implant-supported restorations. A pedicle subepithelial connective tissue flap is prepared from the palatal mucosa near the area to be treated and is displaced into the receptor site. The donor site remains primarily covered. An increase in soft tissue volume is achieved at the receptor site, which is advantageous for various reasons. The pedicle graft has been used for different indications: closure of the alveolus after immediate implant placement, papilla reconstruction, defect and dehiscence repair, and multiple-layer closures after bone grafting and treatment of peri-implantitis. Over a 32-month period, 103 patients were treated with this method. Partial flap necrosis occurred in only 2 patients. All other patients showed significant improvement over the preoperative condition.

Soft tissue management in oral implantology: a review of surgical techniques for shaping an esthetic and functional peri-implant soft tissue structure.

Along with osseointegration and restoration of function, the patient's subjective satisfaction with the esthetic result is a touchstone of the success of implant therapy. Although esthetic restoration of natural teeth can be achieved routinely through appropriate tooth preparation and a natural-looking design on the part of the dental laboratory, the road to success is much more complicated with implants, because of atrophy of bone and mucosa. Surgical techniques, paths of incision, and useful instruments for implant therapy are described, from implant placement to exposure. These methods help to provide durable, functional, and esthetic results.
