For a Class IV composite restoration, the cavosurface bevel is placed on the:

  1. Enamel margin
  2. Pulpal floor
  3. Dentin only
  4. Cementum
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Enamel margin

  • A. Correct. An enamel bevel exposes the ends of enamel rods for stronger etch/bond and a gradual, esthetic blend of the composite.
  • B. Incorrect. The pulpal floor is an internal cavity surface, not where a finishing bevel is placed.
  • C. Incorrect. Beveling dentin does not improve bonding the way an enamel bevel does and offers no esthetic benefit.
  • D. Incorrect. Cementum is not the margin of an anterior Class IV restoration.
