Tips for occlusal restorations and the avoidance of white line fever
Small occlusal restorations are hard to technically layer, but depending on their position relative to a cusp tip, may require different degrees of cavosurface beveling.
*The rule of thumb is that you can bond to the ends of enamel rods better than to the siders of enamel rods.
*The rod orientation becomes more and more upright as you near a cusp tip, hence as your isthmus increases or if you are restoring a cusp tip erosive lesion, you will need to bevel more aggressively across the cavosurface to provide a better substrate for bonding, lest the dreaded white line fever appears.
