Based on anatomical location of carious lesion, Greene Vardiman Black (G.V. Black) classified tooth preparations into five different classes. Later an additional class, class VI was also added. Class I refers to pit and fissure lesions, whereas all other classes are smooth surface lesions.


G.V. Black's Classification of Tooth Preparations
Class I
All pit and fissure preparations. It Includes:
➤ occlusal surfaces of premolars and molars,
➤ occlusal two-thirds of the facial and lingual surfaces of molars, and ➤lingual surfaces of maxillary incisors
Class II
Preparations involving the proximal surfaces of posterior teeth  (i.e. Premolars and Molars)
