Abstract: Integrin is a kind of transmembrane protein, which mediates cell-cell or cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion. Integrin combined with ECM can active transduction pathways, mediate cell adhesion, migration and proliferation, and determine the cell biological functions. In the oral cavity, the adhesion of epithelial cells on the ECM keeps oral healthy and implant stability. In this review, the effect of oral epithelium integrin structure on the ECM is discussed, and the progress of mechanism of integrin mediated oral epithelial adhesion is reviewed.
