Fluorapatite glass-ceramics (FGC) have been widely used in dental ceramics due to their excellent aesthetic properties and biocompatibility. In recent years, new synthesis methods, forming technologies, and the continuous optimization of performance attributes have driven the application of FGC in dental veneers, coatings, composites, and other restorations. This review summarizes the current research and applications of this material in the dental field and looks forward to its future optimization directions. The article focuses on five aspects: the development of preparation techniques for FGC; advances in their application in dental restoration shaping technologies; the performance advantages and limitations of these materials as dental materials; the current application status in veneers, coatings, composites, and other restorations; as well as the challenges in the current applications and prospects. In addition, additive manufacturing technology shows extremely broad application potential in FGC molding and applications. This review is hoped to provide strong guidance for the further application of FGC in the dental field, promoting the integration of related research and industry upgrades better to meet the needs of clinical practice and patients.

Fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) of the craniomaxillofacial region comprise a group of developmental, dysplastic, and neoplastic alterations. FOLs include ossifying fibromas (OF), cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF), familial gigantiform cementoma (FGC), fibrous dysplasia (FD), and cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). Evidence suggests that some FOL, especially FD and OF may have a risk of spontaneous malignant transformation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aims: The range of aesthetic fixed prosthodontics materials utilizing digital manufacturing techniques has expanded in recent years ostensibly replacing traditional laboratory techniques and materials. This retrospective study conducted over eight consecutive years aimed to analyze the types of laboratory fabricated fixed prosthodontics clinical units completed in a postgraduate prosthodontics specialist training program and determine meaningful trends.
Methods: The logbooks of eight postgraduate prosthodontics completions from 2014 to 2021 were reviewed and the different types of laboratory fabricated fixed prosthodontics units and total number of fixed prosthodontics units completed were recorded.

Background: Familial gigantiform cementoma (FGC) is a rare benign fibrocemento-osseous lesion of the jaw characterized by well-circumscribed, extensive, mixed radiolucent-radiopaque masses in the mandible and the maxilla that can cause severe facial deformity. This condition is extremely rare with less than 40 cases reported in the literature.
Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to highlight the importance of virtual surgical planning and patient-specific implant in the treatment of a complex lesion and reconstruction of the facial skeleton.

Objective: To investigate the effect of sandblasting with fluorapatite glass-ceramic (FGC) powder on zirconia surface roughness, crystallinity, and shear bond strength (SBS) of indirect repairing composite to zirconia using different primers/adhesives.
Methods: Zirconia blocks were treated as follows: no treatment (control group), blasting with 30-μm silica-coated alumina (CoJet group), and blasting with FGC powder (FGC group). The surface topography, silica content, roughness, and crystallinity of treated zirconia surfaces were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), an optical profilometer, and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively.
