Question: 1 / 400

How should the patient's head be positioned for access to the maxillary anterior region?

Chin downward

Chin upward

For access to the maxillary anterior region, the patient's chin should be positioned upward. This is because the maxillary anterior teeth are located at the top of the jaw, and tilting the chin upward allows for better visibility and access to these teeth.

Chin downward (A) would make it more difficult to access the maxillary anterior region and may result in limited visibility. Head to the side (C) would also limit visibility and make it difficult to properly position dental instruments. Head tilted back (D) may cause discomfort for the patient and make it more difficult to accurately work in the area.
