You bevel on enamel to expose more of the enamel rods

|
The occlusal floor is angled
Lingual cusp is so small that you want to preserve it Prevents fracture of pulp |

|
It places the margins of the amalgam in an area that is accessible to tooth brushing and less susceptible to plaque accumulation
|
|
Why is the axio-pulpal line angle beveled?
|
A sharp line angle would create excessive stress on the amalgam leading to potential fracture of the restoration
