Background: Repair of defective composite resins restorations is being increasingly recognized as a viable alternative to replacement. there is however no consensus yet on the treatment protocol.
Objective: To determine the views and practice of specialists in Conservative Dentistry in Nigeria as regard to repair procedure of defective composite resin restorations.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among conservative dentists in Nigeria using anonymous structured and open-ended questionnaire as instrument for data collection, the data collected were: socio demographic variables; views and practice of the respondents as regards the indications, benefits and longevity of composite resins repair treatment option and type of surface preparation usually employed, summary statistics was performed.
Results: The respondents comprise 9 (37.5%) males and 15 (62.5%) females. Marginal defect (91.7%) was the strongest indication and preservation of tooth structure (95.8%) was regarded as the topmost benefit, majority of the respondents (75.0%) considered repair procedure as a definitive treatment and etching with phosphoric acid was the most utilized surface preparation (87.5%).
Conclusion: The views and practice of the respondents is in the literature.

Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (RMBs) have drawn extensive attention due to their high theoretical volumetric capacity and low safety hazards. However, divalent Mg ions suffer sluggish mobility in cathodes owing to the high charge density and slow insertion/extraction kinetics. Herein, it is shown that an ultrafast nonequilibrium high-temperature shock (HTS) method with a high heating/quenching rate can instantly introduce oxygen vacancies into the olivine-structured MgFeSiO cathode (MgFeSiO-HTS) in seconds.

Background: Vascular-based dementia risk scores (VDRS) which reliably predict risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs), may be useful to identify at-risk individuals for secondary prevention trials. Dementia risk scores have typically focused on predicting ADRD-associated symptoms, with fewer studies assessing capacity for detecting individuals with underlying brain pathologies. We compare the predictive value of two vascular-based risk scores (CAIDE and Reitz VDRSs) for discriminating AD-related histopathological and structural abnormalities, further considering race and gender differences.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of factors representing the Board of Directors (BOD) and Audit Committee (AC) on financial information transparency (FIT) in a frontier market. FIT is measured through three indicators that reflect financial non-transparency: earnings aggressiveness (EA), earnings smoothing (ES) and loss avoidance (LA). Research data was collected from 338 companies listed on the Vietnam Stock Exchange (HOSE and HNX) from 2012 to 2022.
