Relating to or describing surgical materials or procedures that use implanted synthetic substances to restore or replace body structures.
Formed from 'alloplast' with the suffix '-ic' (relating to or characterized by). The term developed alongside modern implant and prosthetic technologies.
Alloplastic reconstructive surgery has transformed medicine—doctors can now use titanium, ceramic, and engineered polymers to rebuild jaws, replace joints, and restore function in ways that would have seemed like science fiction fifty years ago.
