Continua $X$ and
$Y$ are monotone equivalent if there exist monotone onto maps
$f\,:\,X\,\to \,Y$ and
$g:\,Y\to \,X.\,\text{A}$ . A continuum
$X$ is isolated with respect to monotone maps if every continuumthat is monotone equivalent to
$X$ must also be homeomorphic to
$X$ . In this paper we show that a dendrite
$X$ is isolated with respect to monotone maps if and only if the set of ramification points of
$X$ is finite. In this way we fully characterize the classes of dendrites that are monotone isolated.
