Cavo surface angle for amalgam resoration is butt joint as____________?
Correct answer: A. It increases compresssive and tensile strengths
- A. It increases compresssive and tensile strengths
- B. Decreased compressive, increased strength
- C. Decreased compressive, decrease tensile strength
- D. Increased compressive, increased tensile strength
Explanation
Amalgam margins should have a 90-degree butt-joint cavosurface angle so the material has adequate bulk and is supported by tooth structure. This design helps the restoration withstand both compressive and tensile stresses and avoids a thin, fracture-prone edge.
