Alloplastic grafts are popular due to their high productivity and scaffolding role. They require inter-connected macroporosity, surface microroughness, and a combination of Beta-TCP, HA, and calcium silicate.

Alloplastic grafts have become more and more popular due to their high productivity and ability to act as a scaffold while growth factors develop. This chapter examines the need for an alloplastic graft, its limits, clinical practice application, and the creation of a future-focused strategy to get around them.
1. Alloplastic graft need
The following are the requirements for an alloplastic graft, per the consensus put forth by the World Congress of Biomaterials.
- Inter-connected macroporosity
- The microroughness of the surface
- Beta-TCP, HA, and calcium silicate combined
