They increase retention
B
They conserve tooth structure
C
They increase resistance
D
They decreases internal stresses in the restorative material
High-Yield Explanation
They decreases internal stresses in the restorative material. Due to the small size of primary molars and, therefore, small restorations as well, it is helpful to reduce stresses within the restorative material. It has been demonstrated that rounded internal line angles aid in reducing stress when compared to sharp internal line angles. Many of the burs recommended for use in primary molars have a rounded end to help achieve softened internal line angles.
