The role of biomaterials in implant success is critical, as the choice and properties of materials directly influence the integration of implants into the body. A key aspect of this success is the interaction between the biomaterials and biological systems, including cells, tissues, and the immune system. Implants are used in various medical fields, from orthopaedics to dentistry, with their primary goal being to restore or enhance the function of a body part. However, for the implant to perform as intended, it must interact with the surrounding biological tissues in a manner that supports both mechanical functionality and long-term biological stability. This complex relationship is influenced by a range of factors, from the mechanical properties of the material to its biocompatibility and ability to facilitate tissue healing and regeneration.
