What is the recommended gingival third reduction for a porcelain veneer?

0.2mm
0.3mm
0.5mm
1mm

The correct answer is: 0.3mm

The recommended gingival third reduction for a porcelain veneer is 0.3mm. Option A (0.2mm) may not provide enough space for proper bonding and may result in a bulky restoration. Option C (0.5mm) and D (1mm) are both too much reduction and can lead to unnecessary tooth structure loss and potential damage to the tooth. Thus, option B is the optimal choice for achieving the best outcome for a porcelain veneer.
