Abstract
A reasonable understanding of the available current information regarding the biologic and engineering principles applicable to proximo-occlusal cavity preparations and restorations for the primary molar dentition provides the dentist with a most desirable service to offer young patients. Familiarity with the factors which determine the design of the cavity not only makes repetition of the operation more uniform when repetition is indicated, but also permits more prudent deviation from a standard cavity design when anomalous tooth morphology or occlusion indicates a need for modification. Whereas several factors influence restorative treatment to the extent that it is neither biologically nor mechanically ideal, the principles of treatment recommended have proven abundantly worthwhile for the care of one portion of the dental needs of children.
