Assessing the impact of layer selection on CAM-based explainability for YOLOv8: a study on hand-sketched digital logic circuits

Abstract Class activation mapping (CAM) techniques improve the interpretability of deep neural networks by highlighting image regions that contribute to model predictions. However, the quality of CAM explanations can vary considerably according to the selected target layer. This...

Effect of dentin conditioners on biomarker release and microhardness of radicular dentin: an in vitro study

AIM: This study investigated the effects of various radicular dentin conditioning agents, maleic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid, and EDTA, on dentin-derived biomarker release and radicular dentin microhardness for regenerative endodontic applications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: S...

Effect of diode laser on micro-tensile bond strength of hybrid ceramic restorations to dentin using one-step and two-step self-etch adhesives: in vitro study

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effect of diode laser irradiation on the micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS) of hybrid ceramic restorations bonded to dentin using one-step and two-step self-etch adhesives. Methods An in vitro study was conducted using 20 fresh...
