The purpose of the study was to know the antibacterial property of Cananga odorata essential oil on the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteriaATCC 25175. This study used a laboratory experimental research design with disc diffusion method to know the antibacterial property of Cananga odorata essential oil on the growth of Streptococcus mutansATCC 25175. The results showed an inhibitory zone of 0.25 mm at a concentration of 6.25%; 1.43 mm at a concentration of 12.5%; 1.93mm at 25% concentration; 2.21 mm at 50% concentration; and 4.48 mm at a concentration of 100%.
