    The objective of this research was to determine the antibacterial efficacy of traditional toothpaste versus phytotherapeutic toothpaste against Streptococcus mutans. An in vitro experimental study was conducted using the Kirby-Bauer technique with the agar diffusion method. The sample consisted of 20 blood agar Petri dishes inoculated with the Streptococcus mutans ATC 25175 strain. On their surface, 40 antibiogram discs impregnated with supernatants of traditional and phytotherapeutic toothpastes were placed, and the inhibition halo formation was evaluated after 48 hours. Results: Both toothpastes exhibited antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans. The phytotherapeutic toothpaste showed greater inhibition efficacy, with an inhibition halo of 14.21 mm, compared to the traditional toothpaste, which had an inhibition halo of 10.57 mm, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The phytotherapeutic toothpaste demonstrated greater antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans.
