Based on these benefits, the present research aimed to develop and characterize low cost bioactive endodontic cements and antimicrobial effectiveness for endodontic use. For this, some formulations containing fine cements, ground slag and cellulose were prepared. These test cements were compared with Angelus® repairing white MTA. It was then divided into four groups: Group 1 (gray fine cement with gray ground slag - MZVI and cellulose); Group 2 (white gray cement, white ground slag - MPW and cellulose); Group 3 (white fine cement and cellulose) and Group 4 (white MTA, Angelus – positive control). The samples from each group were subjected to X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Derived Thermogravimetry (DTG), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Hydrogen Potential (pH), Picnometry, Infrared Spectroscopy with Fourier Transform (FTIR) and Antibacterial Potential against Enterococcus faecalis through the agar diffusion test. Statistical tests were performed using SPSS. Differences between groups were verified using the ANOVA test with Tukey's post hoc, descriptive statistics and graphical analyses. After evaluating the data, it was possible to observe, mainly, the presence of calcium hydroxide, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate and calcium carbonate. In addition, the cements showed alkaline pH, antimicrobial action against Enterococcus faecalis and in the SEM analysis it was possible to observe particles of irregular dimensions with a heterogeneous distribution in the polymer matrix, contrasting with the homogeneity presented by MTA. However, in the other characteristics, the cements showed, in general, great similarity with the white MTA from Angelus, with greater emphasis on group 2. Thus, it can be concluded that it is possible to formulate bioactive cements, reusing slag and maintaining the MTA physicochemical and antimicrobial properties.Acesso AbertoAgregado trióxido mineralCimento PortlandComposição químicaAplicações clínicasdoctoralThesis
