    The objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the essential oil of muña mixed with calcium hydroxide, compared to four solutions, against Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212). The agar well diffusion method with 6 mm diameter wells was applied to examine the substances, including saline solution (negative control). The inhibition zones were measured at 24 and 72 hours, with the following results: 16.17 mm and 15.36 mm for the essential oil of muña mixed with calcium hydroxide; 9.18 mm and 8.68 mm for the essential oil of muña; 19.89 mm and 17.09 mm for the 3Mix-MP paste; 21.40 mm (for both time periods) for 2% chlorhexidine gluconate; and 17.89 mm and 15.60 mm for the mixture of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate with calcium hydroxide. The study concluded that the inhibitory effect of the essential oil of muña mixed with calcium hydroxide was lower than that of the 3Mix-MP paste, the 2% chlorhexidine gluconate, and the mixture of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate with calcium hydroxide, but greater than that of the essential oil of muña.
