It is commonly used after professional cleaning to smooth the tooth surface and help remove external stains and biofilm residue. In periodontal settings, it may be done selectively (only where needed) rather than as a routine \u201cpolish everything\u201d step. Clinicians may use polishing pastes, rubber cups\/brushes, or air-polishing powders depending on the case."}
