How Does the Immune System React to Implants?


The immune system is designed to protect the body from harmful substances. When a medical implant is introduced, the body may identify it as foreign. This triggers an immune response that can lead to inflammation, tissue damage, and implant failure. Pediatric patients might be more susceptible to these reactions due to their evolving immune systems, which can sometimes overreact to foreign bodies.
