    Objective: The objective of this research was to determine the antibacterial activity of eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus globulus) compared to 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate in inhibiting Porphyromonas gingivalis in vitro. Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was developed, considering the antibacterial agent variable in 4 concentrations of eucalyptus essential oil (10%, 25%, 50%, 100%) and 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate. Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria were cultured in media using a sample of 40 plates. Results: This research found that Eucalyptus globulus exhibited greater antibacterial activity at all concentrations than 0.12% chlorhexidine, both at 24 and 48 hours against Porphyromonas gingivalis. The smallest inhibition halo was found for 10% eucalyptus with 18.65 mm, and the largest was for 100% eucalyptus at 48 hours with 29.55 mm. Conclusion: Eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus globulus) has significantly greater antibacterial activity than 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate in inhibiting Porphyromonas gingivalis in vitro.
