Tooth caries is a localized pathology process after eruption and caused by the role of pathogens Streptococcus mutans bacteria. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge whether the Binahong leaf can effectively inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans. This research is an experimental research with post test only control design based on the Kirby-bauer modification method by using filter papers. Binahong leaf extract is obtained by maceration method with solvent of 96% ethanol. Streptococcus mutans is taken from the pure bacteria stock in Medical Faculty Microbiology Laboratorium of Sam Ratulangi University Manado. The result of this research shows that the extensive of Binahong leaf inhibitor zone to Streptococcus Mutans is 8,3 mm. By this research, it can be concluded that Binahong leaf extract has an antibacterial effect to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans. The result of this research can be an idea for advanced research in the future about Binahong leaf extract and can be a useful information and knowledge for societies.
