title: Saucer-shaped cavity preparation for composite resin restorations in class II carious lesions: three-year results.
abstract: This study determined the feasibility of saucer-shaped cavity preparations for composite resins in class II lesions. Saucer-shaped class II cavity preparations were restored with composite resin and subjected to clinical, radiographic, and replica cast evaluation (39 restorations) after 6, 18, and 36 months. The results indicated that the retention, resistance form, and wear resistance of the class II saucer-shaped cavity preparations were satisfactory after 3 years.
