Abstract: Ideal gingival epithelium-implant barrier can prevent bacteria in the mouth and their products from invading internal environment. This is beneficial to the long-term success of dental implants and decreases the peri-implantitis. Resent years, increasing studies show that implant surface significantly affects biological responses of gingival epithelium. These researches are instructive and meaningful to the design of trans-gingival surfaces, which enhance the success rate of implants. The purpose of this study is to review the effects of implant surface on the cellular responses as well as the mechanism of influencing gingival epithelium attachment.

Key words: Dental implant, Gingival epithelium, Influence factor
