Özet
An implant is an artificial device placed in the body, typically expected to function in biological harmony with the body. These devices usually replace lost or damaged organs or tissues. The primary purpose of implants is to restore lost functions by replacing an organ or tissue, thereby regaining the system's functionality. Implants are widely used in various fields today.1 They serve functions across a wide range, from dentistry to orthopedics, cosmetic surgery to neurological treatments.
