Evaluation of the 5-year clinical efficacy of cross-arch fixed dental prostheses as periodontal splints on periodontal tissue stability

Puntos clave

• Cross-arch fixed dental prostheses enhance periodontal tissue stability over a 5-year period, showing promising clinical results.
• Clinical efficacy is particularly evident in maintaining periodontal health among patients receiving these prostheses.
• Observational analysis highlights the benefits of using periodontal splints for improved treatment stability in clinical settings.
• Further long-term research may be needed to confirm durability and efficacy, adding depth to current findings.
