Abstract: Alginate is a routinely used impression material which is widely used across the globe. The popularity mainly comes from being economical, ease of use and good surface reproducibility due to its physical and chemical properties. Apart from having these advantages there are certain critical disadvantages such as low tear strength, dimensional instability, poor water retention capacity etc. makes newer materials and techniques superior to the conventional alginate. Despite the disadvantages, alginate can be easily modified to a wide extent without changing its properties, allowing to overcome these disadvantages. This article focuses on the origins of alginate followed by, how to use, and discusses its advantages and disadvantages. The review article also highlights all the modifications done with alginate up till present day and the potentially possible modifications to improve the properties of alginate.
