They require auxiliary retention
as they are Complex cavities
1. Mechanical retention
2. Chemical retention
Macromechanical retention
Micromechanical retention
Non pin supported
Pin supported
Post supported
Amlgapins
Parallel (or slightly occlusally converging)
walls of preparation give good retention
Undercuts are the primary
source of retention in direct
restorations
Cavity occurs on mesial or distal
surface but dovetail is made to
achieve retention
Lock
Slot
Cove
U-shaped groove
Given in dentin in the walls of the
proximal box at axio-lingual and axio-
buccal line angles
Retentive lock being formed with bur # 169L
Locks prepared
0.2 to 0.3 mm wide and
0.5mm deep into dentin
It is a type of retentive groove whose
whole length is in horizontal plane
Place with 33-1/2
Inverted cone
inverted cone
It is a small concavity (depression)
prepared in vertical walls of a cavity
coves
lock
slots
It is a is U-shaped continuous groove
along the line angle between gingivo-
axio –lingual and gingivo-axio-buccal
line angle

Complete cavity preparation, including careful
caries removal
Choose location for pin and prepare a starting
point with a #1/4 round bur
Re-evaluate pin location
Check direction by palpating the external
surface of the tooth
Prepare pin channel
Place pin
Bend pin as necessary
Try in matrix band
Try in amalgam condensers
Cut off excess length of pin, leaving about
2mm projection ( It is difficult!)
Pins provide retention form
Pins do not strengthen either the tooth or
the restoration (actually weaken both)
Remedy:
Shorten with round diamond
Stress concentration at end of pin occurs
causing dentinal crazing or root fracture
with subsequent microleakage
Cover exposure with Ca(OH)2
Apply GIC over Ca(OH)2
Condense amalgam into perforation
Remove amalgam from outside of root &
burnish thoroughly
It is achieved through acid-etching
It is achieved through Chemical union
