Denture hygiene, which is not taken care of, can lead to denture stomatitis caused by plaque accumulation and bacterial or fungal colonization. Fungal colonization is often found in Candida albicans. Denture cleanser that is characterized as nontoxic, antifungal, and antibacterial and can work in a short period is required. Basil leaf contains atsiri oil, flavonoid, saponin, and tannin, which works as antifungal and antibacterial. This study aims to identify the influence of the soaking period of acrylic resin in basil leaf extract on the growth of Candida albicans. 15 plates of acrylic resin were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 was soaked into 80% basil leaf extract concentration for 4 hours, group 2 was soaked for 6 hours, and group 3 was soaked for 8 hours. The result of the one-way ANOVA test showed that there was a significant difference p< 0,05. The group with 8 hours of soaking period was the most effective in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans
