Chamfer It is an obtuse-angled finish line. It is distinct. Exhibits least stress. Most conservative. Indicated where metal forms the margin of a restoration, e.g. complete metal crown.

This is produced by sinking in half the diamond into the tooth. The tip produces the chamfer while the sides give the necessary taper to the axial surface.
