What margin design is appropriate for a porcelain veneer on a tooth with a reduced/worn incisal edge requiring additional length or strength?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Shoulder margin design
When a worn or reduced incisal edge requires additional length or strength to be restored, a shoulder (incisal overlap) margin design provides the ceramist enough material bulk at that edge to resist fracture — a simple feathered finish line would leave too little ceramic thickness in this specific situation.
