Information obtained from text books, journals, books and other literature (8). The information is collected and processed by the steps of editing, organizing and interpreting. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that gargling using bay leaf extract can reduce plaque index because bay leaves contain flavonoids, essential oils, eugenol and tannins which have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects. Keywords: bay leaf (Eugenia polyantha wight); gargling; plaque index
