Rubber dam isolation in a difficult situation.

Rubber dam retainers can be modified easily in the dental office to enable the dentist to isolate teeth with difficult restorative problems with the rubber dam. Isolation with the rubber dam enhances visibility and access and gives the dentist the opportunity to render safe, restorative care of high quality to the patient.

Effect of mandibular molar anatomy on the buccal Class I cavity preparation.

In mandibular molars, enamel dramatically increases in thickness at the buccal pit area and progresses occlusally due to an extensive concavity in the buccal dentinal core. In order to comply with the principles of operative dentistry, this anatomic variance dictates that, if the ultimate restoration is to be placed in dentin, the axial wall of a Class I buccal pit preparation should incline medially rather than follow the external contour of the tooth. The occlusal cavosurface angle of the preparation should be obtuse to coincide with enamel rod direction. Retention, when needed, should be placed at the mesio-axial and disto-axial line angles to avoid undermining occlusal intercuspal enamel, especially as the preparation approaches 2 mm occlusal to the buccal pit.

Fracturing molars with axial forces.

Extracted human molars were prepared with different sized occlusal cavities and restored with a high-copper amalgam. Loads were applied along the long axis of the teeth, and forces required to fracture the teeth were recorded. More force was required to break samples with the larger restorations than was required to break samples with the smaller restorations.
