Introduction: Streptococcus mutans is a bacterium that plays an important role in dental caries. Herbs are known to have antibacterial activity against oral bacteria. The rhizomes of Curcuma longa and Curcuma zedoaria are two of the eight species of genus Curcuma that are most widely used as traditional herbal medicine in Indonesia. Both rhizomes were reported to have antibacterial activity against oral bacteria at a concentration of 12.5%. Objective: This study aimed to examine the inhibitory of Curcuma longa and Curcuma zedoaria rhizomes extracts against the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in vitro. Both rhizomes were collected from the Experimental Garden of Balittro Manoko Lembang, West Java. The maceration method was employed to obtain the extracts with the final extracts of both rhizomes at a concentration of 12.5%. Antibacterial activity test was carried out by using the agar well diffusion method. Chlorhexidine 0.2% was used as a positive control group and distilled water was used as a negative control group. The data obtained were then analyzed using the One Way Anova Test and Post Hoc Test. Results: Chlorhexidine 0.2% had the largest mean diameter of the inhibition zone. Curcuma longa rhizome extract had a larger mean diameter of inhibition zone compared to Curcuma zedoaria rhizome extract. However, the difference in the mean values of the two rhizomes extracts was not statistically significant. Distilled water didn’t have antibacterial activity. Conclusion: Both Curcuma longa and Curcuma zedoaria rhizomes extracts at a concentration of 12.5% have antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans
