Preventation of dental and oral health problems is very important. Brushing teeth is an effective method for solve this issue. The addition of herbal ingredients in toothpaste is expected to prevent oral health problems because it has the ability to inhibit the growth of microbes. Basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) has good antibacterial activity. The aims of study to determine the effect of antibacterial activity toothpaste base by adding basil leaf extract in inhibiting the growth of microbes. Basil leaves extracted using 96% ethanol. Antibacterial activity of basil leaf extract were tested on Streptococcus mutans by using variations of concentration of 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/mL. Toothpaste base made by varying concentrations of calcium carbonate (abrasive) 37% (F1), 42% (F2) and 47% (F3). Toothpaste base that has been created is added with variations of concentration basil leaf extract are 25, 50 and 100 mg / mL in each formula. Antibacterial activity of formulas were tested on Streptococcus mutans. The results showed that best inhibition zone diameter of the extract at concentration of 15 mg/mL (6,247 mm), and the best inhibition zone diameter of toothpaste basis is F1 (11.386 mm). Beside it, the toothpaste preparation (F1) had the inhibition zone diameter is 4.103 mm.Key words: Ocimum basilicum L., toothpaste, antibacterial, Sterptococcus mutans ABSTRAK Pencegahan terjadinya masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut sangat diperlukan. Menyikat gigi merupakan metode yang efektif untuk menanggulangi masalah tersebut. Penambahan herbal pada pasta gigi diharapkan dapat mencegah terjadinya masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut karena memiliki kemampuan menghambat pertumbuhanmikroba. Daun kemangi (Ocimum basilicum L.) memiliki aktivitas antibakteri yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh aktivitas antibakteri basis pasta gigi dengan penambahan ekstrak daun kemangi dalam menghambat pertumbuhan mikroba. Daun kemangi diekstraksi dengan menggunakan etanol 96%. Ekstrak daun kemangi diuji antibakterinya terhadap bakteri Sterptococcus mutans dengan menggunakan variasi konsentrasi yaitu 25, 50, 100, 150, dan 200 mg/mL. Basis pasta gigi dibuat dengan memvariasikan konsentrasi kalsium karbonat (abrasif) 37% (F1), 42% (F2) dan 47% (F3). Basis pasta gigi yang telah dibuat ditambahkan dengan variasi konsentrasi ekstraiuk daun kemangi yaitu 25, 50 dan 100 mg/mL pada setiap formula. Semua formula diuji aktivitas antibakterinya terhadap bakeri Streptococcus mutans. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan diameter zona bening paling baik pada ekstrak adalah pada konsentrasi 15 mg/mL (6,247 mm), pada basis pasta gigi
