____ internal line angles on prep make tooth less likely to fractice

Answer 9

rounding

___ rounding outlines make restoration less likely to fracture

Answer 10

smoothly rounding outline

enamel

Question 13

never leave what on the enamel wall of an occlusal prep like class I amalgam

Answer 13

partial depth ledge

Question 14

leaving sharp external line angles under amalgam that is subject to occlusal stress can lead to

supragingivally

Question 30

with class V, retention grooves are always in ____ just inside the DEJ even when axial wall is deeper than ideal due to caries

occlusal retention groove at occlusal-axial line angle

Question 32

enamel in what area is thinner and prep is not as deep as an occlusal amalgam

Answer 32

thinner at cervical area
