Objectives: The aims of this study were to demonstrate and evaluate how Kubelka-Munk (K-M) reflectance theory is used to adjust the color of the opaqued PEEK backing and the color and thickness of the resin composite layers in different thicknesses in order to minimize the color difference from a target gingival color.
Methods: PEEK specimens were opaqued with either a dark or a light opaquer. Composite resin layers in 3 different colors were fabricated in varying thicknesses. Reflectance of opaqued PEEK and composite layers was determined using a spectroradiometer. Kubelka-Munk (K-M) absorption (K) and scattering (S) coefficients were derived for each material and then K-M reflectance theory was then used to predict the reflectance of each composite disk as layered on each backing. The color of the opaqued PEEK backings alone and the color of 12 pink composite layers on opaqued PEEK backings was calculated for the CIE D65 Illuminant. Composite resins in 3 different color were then bonded to the opaqued PEEK specimens and color differences of these specimens from the theoretical colors were determined.
Results: The ∆E00 values ranged from 0.45 to 1.29 units for the bonded pink specimens and the K-M theory. K-M theory was validated as a viable predictor of gingival color using pink composite bonded to opaqued PEEK background.
Significance: Using K-M theory to predict the gingival color of pink composite bonded to opaqued PEEK eliminates the need to make many specimens of different thicknesses that would otherwise be required to find an acceptable color match.

Supervised machine learning (ML) offers an exciting suite of algorithms that could benefit research in sport science. In principle, supervised ML approaches were designed for pure prediction, as opposed to explanation, leading to a rise in powerful, but opaque, algorithms. Recently, two subdomains of ML-explainable ML, which allows us to "peek into the black box," and interpretable ML, which encourages using algorithms that are inherently interpretable-have grown in popularity.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of opaque stain application to the intaglio surface of lithium disilicate glass ceramics on the masking ability of discolored substrates and bond strength to a resin-based luting agent (depending on etching time); the stain film-thickness was also assessed.
Materials And Methods: Ceramic specimens were produced with CAD-CAM blocks of lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD).

Article Synopsis
- A systematic literature review was conducted on the use of sonolucent cranioplasty (SC) with transcranioplasty ultrasonography, analyzing data from 16 eligible studies involving 189 patients, primarily females aged from teens to 80s.
- Key indications for the SC procedures included hydrocephalus, tumor, traumatic brain injury, and intracerebral hemorrhage.
- The review identified various complications associated with SC, such as wound infections and cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and recommended future studies focus on collecting quantitative measurement data to improve the validation of imaging techniques.

Statement Of Problem: Information regarding the masking ability of ceramic crowns over different implant abutment materials is scarce.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the masking ability of different monolithic or bilayer ceramic materials with different thicknesses over substrates indicated for implant restorations by using opaque and translucent evaluation pastes.
Material And Methods: Disk-shaped specimens, shade A1 (VITA Classic; Ø10×1.
