Abstract
Streptococcus mutans is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacteria normally
found in the human oral cavity, forming part of dental plaque or dental biofilm. It is associated
with the onset and development of dental caries and is the bacterium with the highest incidence
in the development of the same. Objective: To determine the antimicrobial action that natural
oils have on streptococcus mutans from a systematic review. Materials and Methods: It
corresponds to a descriptive observational study, for which a systematic review will be carried
out in which we seek to provide a detailed analysis of the inhibitory effects that natural oils have
on streptococcus mutans. Results: From the articles analyzed, it could be concluded that there
are more than 30 varieties of oils with an antimicrobial effect on streptococcus mutans; ginger
presents the highest differentiating value as regards its effectiveness on dead cells (98%) and the
concentrations used vary from 0.1 mg/Dl to 6 mg/Dl. Conclusions: A total of 39 natural oils
were analyzed, 95% of which present antimicrobial properties and 5% are in studies (oils
concentrated in citrus fruits) to establish if they have antimicrobial capacity; according to this,
the oil with the highest antimicrobial rate is ginger oil with a 99% inhibition rate purchased with
the lowest rate, which was 74% corresponding to Cymbopogon citratus oil with 74%.
