What action is recommended for the patient's chin when polishing the maxillary arch?

Down
Up
Sideways
Flat

The correct answer is: Up

When polishing the maxillary arch, it is recommended for the patient's chin to be positioned up. This positioning helps to create adequate visibility and access to the maxillary teeth, allowing the dental professional to effectively polish the surfaces. Elevating the chin can also help ensure that the lips and cheeks are retracted properly, minimizing interference during the procedure. This upward tilt enhances the angle at which the polishing instrument approaches the teeth, facilitating a thorough and efficient polishing process. Proper positioning is crucial for achieving optimal results while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
