7. Cavity
Simple cavity: only one tooth
surface is involved.
Compound cavity: two surfaces
are involved.
Complex cavity: three or more
surfaces are involved.

9. Classification of cavity
G.V .Black classification
Class l – pit and fissure restoration
-Restoration on occlusal surface of premolar and
molars
-Restoration on occlusal two thirds of facial and
lingual surfaces of molars
-Restoration on lingual surface of maxillary incisors
9
10. Class ll –Restoration on proximal surfaces of
posterior teeth
Class lll - Restoration on proximal surfaces of
anterior teeth that do not involve the incisal angle
Class lV -Restoration on proximal surfaces of
anterior teeth that do involve the incisal angle
Class V – Restorations on the gingival third of the
facial or lingual surfaces of all teeth
Class Vl – Restoration on the incisal edge of
anterior teeth or the occlusal cusp heights of
posterior teeth

12. The four sizes of carious lesions
Size 1. Minimal involvement of dentine just
beyond treatment by remineralization alone.
Size 2. Moderate involvement of dentine. sound,.
That is, the remaining tooth structure is
sufficiently strong to support the restoration .
Size 3. The cavity is enlarged beyond
moderate.The remaining tooth structure is
weakened to the extent that cusps or incisal
edges are split,
Size 4. Extensive caries with bulk loss of tooth
structure has already occurred.

15. Outline Form
means extending the preparation margins to the place they
will occupy in the final preparation
Removal of all carious and defective pits and fissures to
healthy tooth structure
Removal of all unsupported enamel rods
To avoid ending preparation margins in high stress areas
like cusp tip and crest of the ridges
Placing margins on sound tooth structure.
15
16. Steps
establish the external outline form to extend all margins into sound
tooth tissue.
Maintain the initial depth of 1.5 mm, this is approximately one-half of
the length of the cutting bur. should be, at least 0.2 to 0.5 mm in dentin
to provide adequate strength to resist fracture due to occlusal
forces
16
17. Extend the margin mesially and distally but do not involve marginal
ridges. These walls should have dovetail shape to provide retention to
the restoration
17
18. While working towards mesial and distal surface, orient
the bur towards respective marginal ridge. This will
result in slight divergence of mesial and distal walls
which helps to provide dentinal support for marginal
ridges
18
19. The isthmus width should be as narrow as possible
The deep pit and fissure defects less than 0.5 mm apart
should be included within the outline form.
The external outline form should have smooth curves,
straight lines and rounded angles. All unsupported and
demineralized enamel should be removed.

21. The shape given to a prepared tooth
cavity imparting strength and durability
to the masticatory dislodging forces of
a dental restoration and remaining
tooth structure.

83. Conclusion
Although composite resins and crown and bridge
restorative dental techniques receive much attention,
amalgam will continue to be the most extensively used
restorative material for many years to come .
If it is used with care in minimal cavities, the restoration,
the tooth and the occlusion will all last longer!
