The objective of this study was to determine the inhibitory effect of the essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus compared to 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Colgate Plax® mouthwash on the bacterial inhibition of Streptococcus mutans. The study was experimental, cross-sectional, prospective, and analytical, with an explanatory level, conducted in a laboratory. The population consisted of Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175) strains, and the sample included 40 Petri dishes. The culture medium used was Blood Agar, and 6 mm diameter wells were made in each Petri dish using a sterile punch. The essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 100%, 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Colgate Plax® mouthwash, and Tween 20 were added to the wells. The results showed that the 25%, 50%, and 100% concentrations of Eucalyptus globulus essential oil produced inhibition halos with average diameters of 6.88 mm, 9.61 mm, and 12.65 mm at 24 hours, and 6.88 mm, 9.53 mm, and 11.90 mm at 48 hours, respectively, which were smaller than the inhibition halos produced by 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Colgate Plax® mouthwash at both 24 and 48 hours against the Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175) strain.
