For composite resin preparations, cavosurface enamel margins are bevelled because
1. a bevelled margin produces a more favorable surface for etching.
2. a bevelled margin improves the edge strength of the composite resin.
3. after etching, the bonding agent reduces microleakage.
4. the procedure eliminates the need to polish the restoration.
