Abstract: Osteoimmune microenvironment has profound influence on initial osseointegration, which is closely related to implants surface characteristics. The high diversity and plasticity of immune cells make it possible to manipulate the immune cells response and cytokines expression, thus modulating the osteoimmune microenvironment. Modified by the bioactive elements, such as Zn, Sr, Si, the implants surface can stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and increase the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines in immune cells. Based on these complex interactions, this review discusses the strategies by adding bioactive elements to implants surface and highlights the possible underlying mechanisms of osteoimmunomodulation in order to guide the development of advanced implants.
