<p>Dentin bonding in the root canal<br>Lieutenant Commander Michael L. Blanscet, DC, USN, Lieutenant John J. Neal, LT, DC, USN, Captain Patricia A. Tordik, DC, USN<br><br>Introduction<br>The term monoblock has recently appeared in the endodontic literature. Literally, the word means one mass or obstruction, but was previously used in medicine and dentistry to describe single unit components or appliances. In applying adhesive dental technology to root canals, Teixeira et al. introduced the term monoblock to describe resin sealant in the root canal that bonds to primer and a resin core without the gaps commonly found in gutta-percha obturations. Theoretically, an impervious seal would be created from the orifice to the foramen of a root canal and eliminate the pathway for bacterial leakage to the periradicular space. This report reviews the rationale for applying dentin bonding technology to the root canal and provides an update on the application of dental adhesive technology to radicular dentin.
