Fig 3 Grooves and pits are generally 3 to 3.5 mm from the top of the cusps.
Fig 4 A standardized cavity floor depth of about 1 to 2 mm (measured at the marginal ridge) allows for
reproducibility of the correct position and depth of pits and grooves.

through the use of brushes. Fig 23 Simultaneous increments on ML and DB.
