An allergy is an immune system response to a foreign substance that’s not usually harmful to our body. These foreign substances are called allergens. They include certain foods, pollen, or pet dander.A dental impression is a negative impression of hard (teeth) and soft tissues in the oral cavity from which a positive reproduction (cast or model) can be acquired.It can be in liquid or semi-solid nature when first mixed and placed to the mouth. It then sets to become an elastic solid. The allergic reactions due to polyether impression materials manifest in the form of urticaria, swelling, rash and rhinorrhea which can also cause life threatening conditions like laryngeal oedema, anaphylaxis and cardiac arrhythmias. eugenol-containing products and polyether impression materials can induce an allergic risk to dental patients.It is important to note down any type of allergy while taking the medical history.Precautionary measures can be taken if the information is collected in a medical history.This review is done to evaluate the allergic reaction due to impression material.
