Influence of Incorporating Fluoroapatite Nanobioceramic on the Compressive Strength and Bioactivity of Glass Ionomer Cement

Conclusions:Addition of synthesized nano-fluoroapatite to as-prepared glass ionomer cement enhanced the compressive strength as well as nucleation of the calcium phosphate layer on the surface of the composite. This makes it a good candidate  for dentistry and orthopedic applications.Key words: Fluoroapatite, Nanoparticle, Glass Ionomer Cement, Simulated Body Fluid
