“The mesio-lingual piece (Fig. 16) shows the decay in the pit and the structure of the mesial marginal ridge, and Fig. 17, a higher power, shows the rod-directions better. This is a splendid illustration of what may occur when margins approach a marginal ridge. Notice the direction of the rods as the tip of the dentin ridge is approached. In that position it would be impossible not to have unsupported rods which would be sure to loosen sooner or later, and if that point is reached the margin must be carried to where the structure can be trusted.” (158-159)
