Abstract :
Many factors play a critical role in getting the best restoration, such as cavity design, operator skill, type of restorative material etc. However, the weakest link in any restoration is the tooth restoration interface. Every effort should be made to design and prepare these marginal peripheries to create the most favourable relationship with each other and for the longevity of the restoration. The restoration can survive in the biological environment of the oral cavity only if the margins are closely adapted to the cavosurface finish line of the preparation. One of the important aspects of cavity design is the cavosurface marginal seal/design. This review paper highlights the different cavosurface margins suitable for various restorations and their importance.
