Cavity Preparation 2
Cavity Preparation
1. Conventional.
2. Beveled conventional.
3. Modified.
Clinical Technique for Direct
Class III&IV Composite
Restorations
Initial Clinical Procedures
(1)Anesthesia
(2) Occlusal assessments
(3) The shade must be selected before the tooth
dehydrates and experiences lightening.
Initial Clinical Procedures
(4) The area must be isolated to permit effective
bonding.
:Indications
Large cavities, which extended to the root
surfaces
Beveled conventional
• Similar to the conventional design but with
beveled enamel margins .
:Indications
When composite resin is used to replace -1
an existing restoration with conventional
.design
.Large class III & IV -2
Beveled conventional
• Unless necessary do not:
(1)Include the proximal contact area
(2) Extend onto the facial surface,
(3) Extend subgingivally.

Beveled conventional
• The tooth preparation takes the shape of the
existing restoration along with any extensions
necessary to include recurrent caries, friable tooth
structure, or defects.
• Any extensions required may be prepared with a
modified tooth preparation design
Beveled conventional
• If part of the tooth to be restored is located on
the root surface, a combination of two tooth
preparation designs should be prepared, a
conventional type in the root portion, and a
beveled conventional type in the crown
portion.
Beveled conventional
• The retention form maybe be enhanced by
placing groove (at gingivoaxial) and/or cove
(at incisioaxial) angles in addition to the
bonded tooth structure.
Beveled conventional
• The cavosurface bevel or flare is best prepared with
either a flame shaped or a round diamond
instrument, resulting in an angle approximately 45
degrees to the external tooth surface.
• A bevel width of
0.25 to 0.5 mm is
considered sufficient.
Modified Cavity Preparation
It is a “ scooped out” appearance cavity, i.e.
without definite line angles or retentive features.
Indications:
Indicated for small and
moderate lesions or
faults and is designed
to be as conservative as possible.
Modified Cavity Preparation
Preparation features
• Preparation design is dictated by the extent of
the fault or defect
