Antibacterial Activity of Bangle Essential Oil (Zingiber montanum) Against Streptococcus mutans



Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries is a cavity condition that affects almost half of Indonesians. The main cause of caries is Streptococcus mutans. Objective: This research was conducted to determine the potential of essential oil from bangle rhizome (Zingiber montanum) as an antibacterial against the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Methods: Tests are carried out using the diffusion method for the wells technique. In this study, eugenol was used as a positive control. Essential oil was diluted with acetone and obtained essential oil of bangle rhizome with a concentration of 3,12%, 6,25%, 12,5%, 25%, and 50%. Results: The results showed that essential oil from bangle rhizome succeeded in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans with the minimum inhibitory concentration 3,12% and with the optimal inhibitory concentration 50%. Conclusion: It is concluded from this research that essential oil from bangle rhizome is a strong, new natural antibacterial agent for Streptococcus mutans. There was a slight difference of antibacterial effectiveness between eugenol, as positive control, and essential oil from bangle rhizome on Streptococcus mutans bacterial growth observed from their inhibition zones.
