The global dental impression material market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material into alginate, polyether, silicon, and others. Amongst these segments, the alginate segment is expected to garner a significant share. The alginate is cheap and takes less time to capture a mold. Alginate is an irreversible hydrocolloid material that exists in liquid and solid phases. The less time and cost-effective nature of alginate are expected to boost the market growth in the coming years. It only takes 45-60 secs for a dental impression. The most accurate setting is formed with the use of alginate which reduces errors and discomfort to the patient after the treatment increasing its efficiency in the dental field.
