It is most commonly discussed with fissure sealants and flowable resin composites placed on chewing surfaces. It also applies to small preventive or minimally invasive repairs where material is placed into shallow grooves or prepared channels. Good groove retention helps the material remain in place under chewing forces and moisture exposure."}
