<prompt> The objectives for the extension of the proximal margins are all except:Include all caries lesions, defects or existing restorative materialsCreate 90-degree cavosurface marginsEstablish not more than 0.5 mm clearance with the adjacent proximal surface facially, lingually and gingivallyThe location of the final proximal margins should be established with No.245 bur  <response>: The objectives for the extension of the proximal margins are to:Include all caries lesion, defects or existing restorative material.Create approximately 90o cavosurface margins i.e., butt-joint margins. Establish ideally not more than 0.5 mm clearance with the adjacent proximal surface facially, lingually, and gingivally.The location of the final proximal margins i.e., facial, lingual, gingival should be established with hand instruments i.e., chisels, hatchets, trimmers and not the No.245 bur, so as to prevent unnecessary overextension.Reference: Sturdevant operative dentistry. 7th EDITION, Page No:341
