2. Acc to AAPD the objectives of restorative
treatment are to
repair or limit the damage from dental caries
protect and preserve the tooth structure
re-establish adequate function
restore esthetics ( where applicable)
provide ease in maintaining good oral hygiene.

3. REASONS FOR PRESERVATION OF PRIMARY TEETH
Necessary till the succedaneous teeth replace them
Mastication of food
Preservation and increase in arch length
Development of speech and phonetics
Prevention of any infection or caries to the
permanent teeth
Prevention of malocclusion of permanent teeth
Esthetics

5. Pulpal outline follows DEJ more
closely than in permanent tooth.
Longer & more pointed pulp
horns.
Less bulk/ thickness of dentin
Larger pulp
Thin enamel of uniform
thickness,which is parallel to DEJ
Enamel rods are directed occlusally
at cervical third
Thursday, March 21, 2024 5
6. Occlusal anatomy of primary teeth not well defined &
supplemental grooves less common- cavity prep
sh/be kept more conservative
Enamel thinner-cavity prep sh/ be kept shallow
Pulp horns extend a greater distance into crown of
tooth – cavity sh/ be conservative to avoid pulpal
exposure
Exaggerated cervical bulge- matrix adaptation
difficult – construction of a custom matrix to fit the
teeth
Thursday, March 21, 2024 6
7. Direction of enamel rods in cervical region or
gingival third of primary teeth extend from the
DEJ occlusally or horizontally- eliminates the need
for a gingival bevel in CL II prep.
Interproximal contacts of primary molars are
generally broad, elliptical, flat & cervically placed –
require wide proximal cavity prep.

8. CLASS I-
All pit and fissure cavities
Occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth
Occlusal 2/3 of buccal and lingual surfaces of
premolars & molars
Lingual surfaces of anterior teeth.
CLASS II-
All proximal surface cavities on the premolars and
molars.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 8
9. CLASS III-
All proximal surface cavities on the incisors and
canines which do not involve the removal and
restoration of the incisal angle.
CLASS IV-
All proximal surface cavities on the incisors and
canine which involve the removal and restoration
of the incisal angle.
CLASS V-
All gingival cavities located within the gingival one
third of the tooth. These may be either on the
facial or lingual Gingival one third of the tooth
Thursday, March 21, 2024 9
10. CLASS VI-
Cavities on the incisal edges and cusp tips of all
teeth.
Acc to some authors-MOD cavities are Cl VI
cavities

11. Mount & Hume (1998) classification
The three sites of carious lesions:
Site 1- Pits, fissures and enamel defects on
occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth or other
smooth surfaces
Site2- Proximal enamel immediately below areas
in contact with adjacent teeth
Site3-The cervical one-third of the crown or,
following gingival recession, the exposed root.
(Australian dental journal 1998)

12. The four sizes of carious lesions:
Size 1- Minimal involvement of dentin just
beyond treatment by remineralization
alone.
Size2- Moderate involvement of dentin.
Following cavity preparation, remaining
enamel is sound, well supported by dentin
and not likely to fail under normal occlusal
load. The remaining tooth structure is
sufficiently strong to support the
restoration.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 12
13. Size 3- The cavity is enlarged beyond
moderate. The remaining tooth structure
is weakened to the extent that cusps or
incisal edges are split, or are likely to fail
or left exposed to occlusal or incisal load.
The cavity needs to be further enlarged
so that the restoration can be designed to
provide support and protection to the
remaining tooth structure.
Size 4- Extensive caries with bulk loss of
tooth structure has already occurred.

14. (OLD CONCEPT- EXTENSION FOR PREVENTION)
• Cavity design dictated by site & extent of lesion.
• No need to extend cavity into the “caries free” area.
• Biologically active restorative material which
assists remineralization & healing of remaining
tooth structure.
• ONLY Irretrievable/ degenerated/ broken down
tooth surface to be removed.
• Completely control plaque accumulation by
eliminating surface cavitation as a result of caries.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 14
16. Blacks concept extension for prevention.
1. Obtaining Outline form
2. Obtaining Resistance form
3. Obtaining Retention form
4. Obtaining Convenience form
5. Removal of infected dentin
6. Finishing enamel walls
7. Debridement /toilet of the cavity
Thursday, March 21, 2024

18. The extension and depth of the cavity will be
determined by the amount and location of caries
and preoperative occlusal anatomy. Every effort
should be made to retain as much well-supported
enamel as possible.
The maximum inter cuspal cavity width should be
one-quarter to one-third of the inter cuspal width.
0.5 mm pulpally to the DEJ to provide sufficient
bulk of amalgam to with stand occlusal forces.
Pulpal floor should be flat & smooth
Internal line angles should be rounded to reduce
any stresses in the set amalgam.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 18
19. The extension is made, buccal or lingual
cavity walls should be straight and either
parallel or converging occlusally
The extension should be cut 0.5 mm into
dentine and should extend gingivally to
include the developmental pits.
Retention grooves can be place in dentine
if considered necessary.
The ‘isthmus’ area where the extension
meets the occlusal section can be rounded
or beveled to increase the bulk of
amalgam. as it is subjected to heavy
stresses during lateral movements
Thursday, March 21, 2024 19
20. Class II Cavity
(1) Outline: The outline follows the fissure pattern
so as to prevent secondary caries occurring
adjacent to the restoration. A smooth flowing
outline reduces stress and permits better of
the amalgam.
(2) Isthmus: This should be between 1/4 of the
inter cuspal distance (approximately 1.5 mm)
Thursday, March 21, 2024 20
21. (3) Depth: This should be 0.5 mm below
dentino-enamel junction or 1.5 mm from the
cavosurface (i.e.. 'a'.)
(4) Internal angles: All the internal angles
should be rounded so as to limit stress and
to ensure that amalgam can be easily packed
into these regions.
(5) Pulpal floor: Pulpal floor should be slightly
concave.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 21
22. (6) Buccal and lingual walls: should be converging
so making the cavity retentive. Also, the
cavosurface angle needs to be a right angle to
ensure maximum strength at the enamel-amalgam
junction.
(7)Gingival floor: should be located just below the
contact area with the adjacent tooth. But
supragingivally.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 22
23. (8) Axial wall: The width of the floor of the box
should be approximately 1 mm. follows
external contour of tooth.
(9) Buccal and lingual walls: These should be
convergent, parallel to the appropriate
external surface and make a cavo surface
angle of 90 degree.
(10) Axio-pulpal line angle: This should be
rounded which gives the maximum thickness
of amalgam with the minimum of stress in this
area.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 23
24. (11) Retention grooves- made to enhance
retention.
(12) Occlusal dovetail -It should be made
including all carious areas and shape
should be such that it locks the occlusal
portion of filling.

25. Thursday, March 21, 2024 25
PROXIMAL BOX OF DECIDUOUS TEETH
• Box converges occlusally
• Minimal flare to prevent weakening of
enamel walls
• Isthmus 1/4th to 1/5th inter cuspal
width
•Rounded axio-pulpal angle grooved to
increase retention
•No bevel in gingival seat
•Depth minimal to prevent pulp
exposure at cervial constriction
•Wide gingival floor
30. They hold the restorative material in the
cavity, restore the tooth to original form
and preserve the arch length and
anatomic function.
The matrix band should be rigid enough
to allow adequate packing pressure,
ensuing a well-condensed restoration
free from an excessive mercury.
Should also prevent extension of excess
restorative material beyond the band
into the gingival tissue causing over
hanging amalgam restoration.

35. A stainless steel band material of
0.00508cm x 1.27cm x 3.81cm (0.002"x
3/6" x 1W') size is taken.
Gripping band material with plier, it is
tightly adapted around the tooth for which
band has to be formed. In most of the
teeth the band should be made buccally,
i.e. ends of the band should be buccally
Band is taken out by holding it with pliers.
Both the ends of the band material are
spot welded.
Thursday, March 21, 2024 35
36. Excess of the material is cut and removed
carefully. The band is fitted on the tooth. It
should fit tightly on the tooth surface. Mark the
band according to the height and contour. Band
height should not be above the marginal ridge
of the adjoining tooth.
Wedge is inserted in the gingival embrasure for
the tight fitting & adaptation of the band
Wedge should be inserted from the lingual side.
Further burnishing of the band provides better
adaptation.

37. It is available in two widths, broad and narrow.
Broad is used for permanent teeth and narrow
is used for deciduous teeth.
They are made up of soft metal strip. This type
of band matrix can fit and adapt to most of the
teeth properly for proximal surface fillings.
Its use is simple and easy. It can be easily
prepared, contoured, placed and removed from
deciduous and permanent teeth.
To reduce the chair side time, the loop of
approximate size of the diameter of the tooth
can be prepared in advance.
