                                Derived from red algae, agar is a gelatinous material that has been used in dentistry since the 1920s. While its culinary uses as a vegan gelling agent are well-known, oral agar refers specifically to its application as a dental impression material, celebrated for its ability to create highly detailed and reusable molds.
