The bismuth oxide replacement by zirconium oxide (ZrO2) and the addition of silver nanoparticles may improve the physicochemical, mechanic and antimicrobial properties. Chapter I: It was evaluated pH, solubility, setting time, radiopacity and compressive strength. Groups: G1-MTA Angelus; G2-PC/ZrO2; G3-MTA/NPsAg, G4-PC/ZrO2/NPsAg. The pH was measured with a digital pH meter, the solubility by the weight loss and the setting time was evaluated by Gilmore needle. Compressive strength was tested in universal testing machine. For radiopacity analysis material samples were radiographed alongside an aluminium step-wedge. The results were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey tests (p<0.05). The G3 showed a pH increase and a decrease of solubility and initial and final setting time. The G4 showed a decrease in solubility and an increase of compressive strength. All materials presented radiopacity greater than 4 mmAl. The G3 and G4 associations showed good physicochemical and mechanical properties. Chapter 2: For the first test bacterias in planktonic form were placed over fresh cement, and the analysis was performed in spectrophotometer. Also for the antibiofilm test, the samples were placed in direct contact with E. faecalis biofilm previously induced on bovine dentine and analysed by the counting of colony-forming units. The results were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey tests (p<0.05). On the planktonic form, the best results were showed by G2 and G4. The greater reduction of biofilm were showed by G3 and G4. The incorporation of NPsAg to PC and MTA improves the antibacterial and antbiofilm activity of calcium silicate cements.
