  2. resistance form
  3. retention form
  4. convenience form
  5. caries removal
  6. finish of the enamel walls
  7. cleansing the cavity
50
Q

outline form

A

the final extent (position and dimensions) and configuration (shape) of the cut face of the cavity prep

51
Q

what are the two parts of outline form

A

external outline form

internal outline form

52
Q

external outline form

A

perimeter of the prepared cavity

configuration of the enamel cavosurface margin following cavity preparation

53
Q

internal outline form

A

inner dimension and details (depth, shape) of the prep

54
Q

Factors that affect outline form (4)

A

extend of the caries lesion
proximity of lesion to other defects
relationship of adjacent and opposing teeth

55
Q

the extent of the caries lesion will affect the outline form of the cavity prep - what are the requirements of the prep in order for it to be successful? (4)
