The restoration needs to be checked for proper margins (to ensure no gaps or overhangs), contacts (to ensure proper alignment with adjacent teeth), and occlusion (to ensure the bite is correct). Cement and gum lines are not typically checked during this step, and amalgams are not relevant unless specifically being used for the restoration.
