A solidified biofilm E.faecalis in hard environmental circumstances within the root canals. Biomaterial urfaces and biofilm on tissues can lead to biofilm-mediated contaminations, which is hard to treat as a result of the increased antimicrobial resistance of bacteria. The dherence of bacteria to a hard surface forms the original and the most vital step in the biofilm’s formation. Propolis contains tt-farnesol and apegenin that have mechanisms for inhibiting adherence of bacterial biofilm. Propolis’s effect on the adherence of E.faecalis. Propolis 8-16 µg/ml was extracted, analyzed using the agar diffusion method; the outcome on bacterial adherence to a glass surface was also evaluated. Considerably less bacteria were found adhering to Propolis by using the one-way ANOVA with various assessment. Propolis 8-16 µg/ml reduction in adherence of E. faecalis to smooth surface. Propolis 14µg/ml show. Propolis 14µg/ml Displays successful in stopping adhesion of E.faecalis.
