This type of research is a quasi experimental, comprised 30 healthy children of age group of 12-15 years. The subjects were assigned into three groups. Streptococcus mutans count will be examined in the microbiology laboratory at baseline and 14th day. The results showed that there was a difference in effectiveness between three groups that is green tea group, probiotic group, and chlorhexidine 0.2% group at the end of 14th days. Paired T test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean on Streptococcus mutans colony count in the green tea, probiotic, and chlorhexidine 0.2%. Probiotic mouthrinses is more effective than green tea and chlorhexidine 0.2% mouthrinses to reduced Streptococcus mutans colony counts in children aged 12-15 years old in Medan City and potensially safe anti-plaque agent in comparison to chlorhexidine.
