1: the cavity was located to the lingual anterior mandibular body (incisor-canine-premolar area) and above the mylohyoid muscle.

2: the cavity was located to the mandibular angle-first permanent molar area and below the mandibular canal.

I: the cavity did not reach the buccal cortical plate.

II: the cavity reached the buccal cortex, but there was no expansion of the plate.
