    "abstract": "This paper aims to compare the antifungal efficacy of four concentrations of \nThis study was conducted \nCompared to MEO 25%, MEO 50%, and MEO 75%, MEO 100% had the highest antifungal efficacy at 24, 48, and 72 hours of evaluation, with an average of 18.9 \u00b1 0.7, 18.2 \u00b1 0.7, and 17.0 \u00b1 0.4 mm, respectively. However, fluconazole had higher efficacy (27.9 \u00b1 0.5, 27.5 \u00b1 0.5, and 23.7 \u00b1 0.7 mm, respectively). \nAmong the MEO groups, the pure concentration (MEO 100%) had the highest antifungal efficacy. However, fluconazole presented greater efficacy, and the differences were statistically significant.\nThis research allowed to know the efficacy of this natural resource against one of the most prevalent fungi in the oral cavity. Therefore, a line of research could be opened to deepen its potential benefits for oral health.",
