    Throughout history, periodontal disease has been present, with multiple treatments using natural derivatives to address this condition. Therefore, the objective of this in vitro study was to determine the efficacy of Minthostachys mollis (muña) essential oil and 0.12% Chlorhexidine in inhibiting the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis. The sample consisted of 40 Petri dishes inoculated with Porphyromonas gingivalis strains, and the agar diffusion method using paper discs was employed. The discs were impregnated with 20 µl of 50% and 100% Minthostachys mollis (muña) essential oil, 0.12% Chlorhexidine, and distilled water. The Petri dishes, inoculated and medicated, were incubated for 24 hours at 37°C and were removed only to measure the inhibition halos at 24 and 48 hours. The data were processed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Conclusion: The essential oil of Minthostachys mollis (muña) at 50% and 100% were less effective than 0.12% Chlorhexidine in inhibiting the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis at both 24 and 48 hours.
