The advent of dentin adhesive technology in endodontics has made monoblock a well known concept in endodontics. However it has created many controversies on whether monoblock would reinforce the roots and provide a superior coronal seal.In this review, attempts have been made to understand monoblock in a broader aspect and understand how the monoblock concept can be applied to the materials used till date which rehabilitates the root canal space. The potential of currently available bondable materials to achieve mechanically homogeneous units with root dentin is then discussed in relation to the classical concept in which the term monoblock was first employed in restorative dentistry and subsequently in endodontics.
