Black's classification
1. Class I: Pit and fissure any where it exists
2. Class II: Proximal of posterior teeth.
3. Class III: Proximal of anterior teeth not
involving incisal angle
4. Class IV: Proximal of anterior teeth
involving incisal angle
5. Class V: cervical area buccal and lingual in
all teeth
6. Class VI: Cusp tip and incisal edge.

Cavo-suface margin:
It is the external margins of the cavity
Cavo-suface angle:
It is the angle formed between the cavity wall and
the external too surface (it is interior angle
inside tooth structure).
Isthmus:
It is the portion of the compound and complex
18
cavities that joining the two portions.
