[2025-10-01T21:41:09.025916] [PI reasoning] **Determining retention points**

I’m looking into a question about class III composite preparation in operative dentistry. The options for retention points are interesting! It seems that the correct choice is to place them entirely in dentin, as putting them at the dentinoenamel junction (DEJ) could undermine the enamel. In composite work, mechanical retention isn’t usually required, but if it is, placing retention points in dentin is the way to go. So, I’ll settle on option B!
