Introduction: There are several oral diseases caused by various microorganisms. In this work, we discuss periodontal pathogens, which cause chronic degenerative damage in the supporting tissues of teeth. This is why several treatments have been developed for their eradication, including phytocomponents and essential oils as an option in antimicrobial therapy. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effect of the essential oil of the plant species Schinus molle L. native to Ecuador on strain of Porphyromonas gingivalis at different concentrations. Methodology: This was a laboratory and longitudinal study in which the Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 strain was cultured in 20 Petri dishes, working with several exposure subgroups, including Group 1 - 50% essential oil of Schinus molle leaves; Group 2 - 100% essential oil of Schinus molle L.; Group 3 - 0.12% chlorhexidine (positive control); Group 4 - saline solution (negative control) with different incubation periods of 24 and 72 hours. Results: The Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 sample exposed to 100% plant species Schinus molle L. for 24 hours had an inhibition zone of 15 mm, demonstrating high sensitivity, and exposure for 72 hours produced a zone of 14 mm, also suggesting sensitivity. Exposure to S. molle L. at 50% for 24 hours produced a zone of inhibition of 9.65 mm, showing sensitivity; however, it is worthwhile to continue developing and evaluating this area of study. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that phytotherapy using the essential oil of the plant species Schinus molle L. represents a therapeutic option in cases of infections caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis.

En este trabajo, discutimos los patógenos periodontales, que causan daños crónicos degenerativos en los tejidos de soporte de los dientes. Por ello, se han desarrollado diversos tratamientos para su erradicación, entre los que destacan los fitocomponentes y aceites esenciales como opción en la terapia antimicrobiana. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el efecto inhibitorio del aceite esencial de la especie vegetal Schinus molle L. nativa del Ecuador sobre una cepa de Porphyromonas gingivalis a diferentes concentraciones. Metodología: Se trató de un estudio de laboratorio y longitudinal en el que se cultivó la cepa Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 en 20 placas Petri, se trabajó con varios subgrupos de exposición, tales como: Grupo 1 - 50% aceite esencial de hojas de Schinus molle; Grupo 2 - 100% aceite esencial de Schinus molle L.; Grupo 3 - clorhexidina al 0,12% (control positivo); Grupo 4 - solución salina (control negativo) a diferentes periodos de incubación de 24 a 72 horas. Resultados: La muestra de Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 expuesta al 100% de la especie vegetal Schinus molle L. durante 24 horas presentó un halo de inhibición de 15 mm, lo que demuestra una alta sensibilidad, y la exposición durante 72 horas produjo un halo de 14 mm, lo que también sugiere sensibilidad. La exposición a S. molle L. al 50% durante 24 horas produjo un halo de inhibición de 9,65 mm, demostrando sensibilidad; sin embargo, vale la pena continuar desarrollando y evaluando esta área de estudio. Conclusiones: Este estudio demuestra que la fitoterapia utilizando el aceite esencial de la especie vegetal Schinus molle L. representa una opción terapéutica, en casos de infecciones ocasionadas por Porphyromonas gingivalis.
