    The objective of this study was to determine the inhibitory effect of the essential oil of Schinus molle (Molle) compared to 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Colgate Plax® mouthwash in inhibiting bacterial growth of Streptococcus mutans in vitro. The study was experimental, cross-sectional, prospective, and analytical at an explanatory level, conducted in a microbiology laboratory. The population consisted of Streptococcus mutans strains (ATCC 25175), with a sample of 40 Petri dishes. The agar diffusion method was used with 6 mm diameter wells, where 100 µl of Schinus molle (Molle) essential oil at 25%, 50%, and 100%, 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Colgate Plax® mouthwash, and Tween 20 were poured. The results showed that the concentrations of 50% and 100% Schinus molle essential oil produced an average inhibition zone of 10.97 mm and 10.46 mm at 24 hours, and 11.06 mm and 10.59 mm at 48 hours, which were smaller than the inhibition zones formed by 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Colgate Plax® mouthwash at both times against the Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175) strain.
