opératoire avec serrage par friction et à verrou
Explanation:
L'abbreviation FG semble rester la même en français. L'exemple ci-dessous vient du catalogue en français d'articles dentaires de la compagnie Sinclair

FR (Toutes les fraises de taille et de finition sont offertes avec une tige à serrage par friction (FG))

ENG (All trimming and finishing burs come in friction grip shank)

Pour le terme "operative", ce même catalogue utilise le terme "opératoire"

"LA" ou "latch-type" est "à vérrou"

Reference: FG and LA

Reference information:
“Straight handpiece burs have long straight shanks. In dental supply catalogs, they are abbreviated as SH or HP.
Latch-type burs have notched shanks and are abbreviated as LA (latch-type angle) or RA (right-angled).
Friction grip burs have smooth shanks, which are smaller in diameter than HP burs. They are used in high-speed handpieces. Friction grip burs are identified as FG, FGS (friction grip surgical) or FGSS (friction grip short shank used for tight areas and restorations).”
