Methodology: fourty permanent molars having canals’ curvatures of 30 -80 were mechanically prepared clinically using the balanced force technique. In half of the cases (group I) modified K-files were used in the preparation and in the other half (group II) Kreamers were used. Curved canals were enlarged 5-6 sizes larger than the initial file size. Degrees of curvatures were measured before instrumentation and after obturation through x-rays using the Schniders’ method. Results and Conclusions: Generally, canal transportation using either type of instruments increased slowly as the pre-instrumentation curvature increased. Modified K-files resulted in a preparation with nearly no transportation in the range of curvature 30 -44 . The balanced force concept technique is an effective and safe method for preparation of severely curved canals.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : Al-Azahar Dental Journal  Volume : 6  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1991 AH 1991 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Tuesday, May 20, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email مديحة جمعة Gomaa, Madiha Investigator Doctorate mmahamad@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  Evaluation of the Balanced Force Concept for Instrumentation.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
