Abstract
In order to implant a material, we first have to injure the tissue. The injured or diseased tissues will be removed to some extent in the process of implantation. The success of the entire operation depends on the kind and degree of tissue response (biocompatibility) toward the implants during the healing process. The tissue response toward the injury may vary widely according to the site, species, contamination, etc. However, the inflammatory reaction and cellular response toward the wound for both intentional and accidental injuries are the same regardless of the site.
