The aim of this study was to examine the forces and torque developed during root canal preparation with the balanced force technique using a recently described force-analyser device. A tooth was placed in a holder within the Endograph and forces and torques exerted were recorded. These parameters, which can be studied during preparation (on-line) or stored and examinated subsequently (off-line) generated endograms, which showed the forces generated with time. In addition, the endograms of preparations performed by students and endodontists, as well as deliberately induced failures in preparation technique (broken instruments), were compared. The values for the forces and torques depended on the size of the instruments and were related to the phase of the preparation. For the endodontists, the vertical and horizontal forces varied, respectively, from 0.08 +/- 0.01 kg for a size 15 to 0.65 +/- 0.10 kg for a size 45, and from 0.01 +/- 0.005 kg for a size 15 to 0.4 +/- 0.1 kg for a size 40. The torque varied from 0.08 +/- 1 kg mm-1 for a size 15 to 1.6 +/- 0.4 kg mm-1 for a size 45. With the endograms used as a reference, the relation between the developed vertical forces and the torque became more similar between the groups of endodontists and students. The Endograph provides a new approach to the analysis of preparation technique because it depicts the relationships between the different parameters of the preparation.
