CONCLUSION: Traditional class II, 2.5 mm cuspal reduction, and "infinity edge" preparation designs have similar fracture loads as well as volumes of microleakage; however, an "infinity edge" preparation has a higher ratio of microleakage in the proximal box.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians should carefully consider the use of "infinity edge" margins, particularly on dentin in the apical extent of the proximal box.
