It means (in plain english) that there is a crown (also called a cap) made out of porcelain on a front tooth in your mouth. Incisal reduction means that the dentist is going to make it shorter or "reduce" it to make your teeth bite together better. This should not be uncomfortable and is a quick procedure. If you had a natural front tooth and chipped the edge of it the Dr. would do the same procedure - just smooth it down. Hope that helps!

This is to prevent for the Crown to have a premature contact on the antogonist. To prevent Abrassion to the opposite tooth,Breakage of the Crown and Dislodgement of the Crown

incisial reduction on an all porcelain crown pretty much means, it is gonna be reduced on the chewing side of an anterior tooth.

Usually about 1.5 to 2 mm . However, if you need to change the bite, up to 3mm can be obtained before encroaching on the pulp in a mature adult.

The first answer is right. The others missed the point.
