Alginate is one of the most frequently used dental impression materials.
Sodium / Potassium Alginate forms elastic, irreversible hydrocolloid impression material.
When mixed with water containing a calcium source, it makes a smooth gel-like consistency that sets firmly enough to mold.
Alginate impression material produces accurate dental impressions even in the presence of saliva.
Further Alginate is a hypoallergenic (unlikely to cause an allergic reaction) material making it well suited for dental molds.
