Improving classifier decision boundaries and interpretability using nearest neighbors

Discover Artificial Intelligence
Neural networks often fail to learn optimal decision boundaries. In this study, we show that these boundaries are typically situated in regions with low training data density, making them highly sensitive to a small number of samples, which, in turn ...

Influence of Airborne‐Particle Abrasion and Thermal Cycling on Enamel Bond Strength and Roughness of Lithium Disilicate Treated With a Self‐Etching Ceramic Primer

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This in vitro study investigated the effect of a self‐etching ceramic primer (Monobond Etch & Prime [MEP]), with or without aluminum oxide airborne‐particle abrasion, on the surface roughness, and microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of lithium disilicate bonded to enamel, compared with the conventional hydrofluoric acid plus silane (HF

Effects of Substructure Color and Restoration Thickness on the Final Color of Ultra‐Translucent Zirconia Ceramics

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effects of substructure color and restoration thickness on the final color of shade‐gradient ultra‐translucent zirconia ceramics. Material and Methods A total of 180 flat‐shaped ultra‐translucent zirconia specimens (5Y‐PSZ) with thicknesses of 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm (n = 60) were fabricated and

The Influence of Different Polishing Systems on the Gloss and Surface Roughness of Two Distinct Nano‐Filled Composites

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the influence of different polishing systems on the surface roughness and gloss of two nano‐filled resin composites, and to investigate the effect of a modeling agent (Ceramage) on surface roughness. Methods Two nano‐filled resin composites, Filtek Z350 XT and Palfique LX5, were used.

Validation of clinically related aging models based on enamel wear

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Physiological and erosive wear reported in clinical studies were reviewed, and in vitro aging models were developed to simulate and compare the effect of aging on human teeth with the review data obtained from clinical studies. Methods A review of clinical studies and randomized clinical trials that quantify enamel wear was performed ...

Effect of sintering cycle on the strength and translucency of multilayered zirconia

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose A newly introduced sintering protocol promises to offer higher translucency while not significantly compromising the flexural strength of the material. However, the effect of the novel sintering protocol has not been thoroughly validated.
