In modified class III cavity restoration, retention is obtained mainly by


1. Acid etching
2. Retentive groove/slot
3. Retentive point
4. Retentive pin
Conservative Dentistry Answer: 1

Explanation: In modified Class III cavity restorations,
particularly those involving composite materials, retention is often achieved
through acid etching. This process creates micro-retentive features on the
enamel and dentin surfaces, allowing the bonding agent to penetrate and create a
strong bond with the tooth structure. While retentive grooves, points, and pins
can also be used, acid etching is a fundamental technique that enhances
retention in adhesive dentistry.
