CAVITY: Refers to a defect in enamel, or
enamel & dentin, resulting from pathologic
process- DENTAL CARIES
Once caries process invaded-Frank
cavitation
Effective treatment for preventing further
progress - complete removal of affected
area

8. CAVITY PREPARATION
defined as the mechanical alteration of a
defective injured or diseased tooth in
order to best receive a restorative
material which will re-establish a healthy
state for the tooth including esthetic
corrections, along with normal form and
function.

& mechanically sound restoration
Mechanical preparation &/or chemical
treatment of remaining tooth structure,
which enables to accommodate
restorative material, without incurring

63. Tooth colored restorations
Extension for prevention - not apply
adhesive resto.mate.revolusionized the
concept of cavity design
conserve more tooth structure
floor routinely not placed in dentin- depends
on extend & depth of lesion
bevel on cavosurface margin
contact area - should be maintained
butt joint marginal configuration - for
retention & bevelled the margin
www.indiandentalacademy.com
64. Cast gold restorations
Gingival to occlusal divergence of walls- 2-5
degree taper on each wall
taper minimum in shallow cavities
more in deeper cavities
bevelling
to obtain lapp joint at cavosurface margin
20- 30 degree
increases marginal adaptation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
65. PRIMARY RESISTANCE FORM
defined as the shape & placement of the
cavity walls best enables both restorations
& the tooth to withstand, without fracture ,
masticatory forces delivered in long axis of
tooth
architectural form given to a tooth , which
enables both restoration & remaining tooth
to resist structural failure from occlusal
loading stresses
www.indiandentalacademy.com
66. PRINCIPLES
utilize box shape with a flat floor
restrict extension of external walls
slight rounding of internal line angles - reduce
stress
cap weak cusps & envelope / include enough
weakened tooth
provide enough thickness of restorative material
- prevent fracture
major principle is that restoration should
rest on flat sound tooth structure,
perpendicular to occlusal forces directed
parallel to the long axis of tooth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
67. FEATURES
relatively flat floors
box shape
includes weakened tooth structures
preservation of cusps & marginal ridges
rounded internal line angles
adequative thickness of restorative materials
seats on sound dentin peripheral to excavation of
infected dentin
reduction of cusps for capping
www.indiandentalacademy.com
68. Stress patterns of teeth
use floors at right angles to direction of
loading- to avoid shear stress
walls parallel
box / cone / inverted truncated cone
definite line & point angles
Amalgam & cast gold - approx.1.5mm
porcelain - 2mm for inlays
1.5mm for crowns

70. PRIMARY RENTENTION FORM
shape / form of prepared cavity that resists
displacement / removal of restoration from
tipping/ lifting forces
defined as a form given to tooth
prepn.,especially its detailed anatomy &
general shape, which enables the restoration,
that will accommodate, to avoid being lodged
by masticatory loading
intra coronal-
inside a cavity prepn,within the tooth
extra coronal
on prepn.surface, replacing reduced

71. PRINCIPLES
related to restorative materials used
retention form vary from material
higher degree of parallelism bet.opposing
walls
inverted truncated cones or undercuts
dovetail

www.indiandentalacademy.com
72. CONVENIENCE FORM
shape/ form of cavity that provide adequate
observation & accessibility
ease of operation in preparing & restoring
the cavity
• modifications in tooth prepn.
Flaring

74. FINAL CAVITY PREPARATION
Removal of any remaining enamel pit / fissure
&/ or infected dentin & / old restorative
material, if indicated.
it is elimination of any infected carious
tooth structure / faulty restoration within
the tooth after initial cavity preparation
