Types of bevels
Partial bevel : This should involve about 1/3 to ½ of the enamel wall at 45-70
degree to the cavity.
Long bevel : the entire enamel wall is bevelled at at 45-70 degree to the
cavity wall
Hollow ground bevel : about two thirds of the enamel wall thickness is
ground in concave manner so the cavity margin will have right angled
cavosurface angle with butt joint between the restorative material and the
enamel margin.
Scalloping the margin : this feature can be used in conjunction with a partial
or long bevel, in order to further increase the surface area and irregularities
of the enamel that is conditioned.
Skirting : this feature is used if conditioned enamel will be the main retentive
mode for resinious material .
