In determining the ideal proximal outline form for a Class II amalgam cavity preparation in a molar the 1. axial wall should be 1.5mm deep. 2. gingival cavosurface margin must clear contact with the adjacent tooth. 3. proximal walls diverge occlusally. 4. facial and lingual proximal cavosurface margins must just clear contact with the adjacent tooth.

The ideal proximal outline form of a Class II amalgam cavity preparation in a molar:
(1) Broken buccal and lingual proximal contact, with 0.3-0.5mm clearance (just allow the tip portion of the explore pass)
(2) Open gingival contact with 0.5mm clearance
(3) Convergent buccal and lingual wall
(4) Pulpoaxial wall parallel to gingival cavosurface and 1.25-1.5mm in depth
(5) Axio-pulpal lingle angle beveled
(6) Gingival margin beveled to remove unsupported enamel
