Organizing activities of oral health efforts can be reached in various ways including the traditional way which is well aligned with conventional medicine. Traditional medicine is material in the form of the plant, mineral materials, or mixtures of these substances that have historically been used for treatment, and can be applied by the norms of society (Permenkes RI, 2010). Avocado is a fruit plant that belongs to the family Lauraceae that grow in the plains with the cold weather (Antia et al., 2005). Avocado plant parts that have many benefits is the leaves for the effect of antifungal, antimicrobial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory. Some studies have shown that in vitro test avocado leaf extract containing flavonoids and alkaloids that can inhibit the spread of the virus of herpes simplex (Miranda et al., 1997). Hasbi (2012) on test sensitivity juice leaves of avocado (Persea Americana miller) on the growth of Pseudomonas sp shows giving juice of the leaves of avocado with a concentration of 100%, 80%, 60%, 40% and 20% can inhibit the growth of Pseudomonas. Based on this empirical evidence, this research expands the use of the avocado leaves to the inhibition of Streptococcus viridans which is a member of the healthy flora of the most common in the upper respiratory tract playing a vital role to maintain the normal state of the mucous membranes. But some Streptococcus viridans plays a significant factor in the formation of dental caries (Jawetz et al, 2005). The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of avocado leaf extract concentration of 60% and 80% to the inhibition of the growth of Streptococcus viridans.
