Abstract: With the development of dental implant restoration, the criteria of implant success are not only limited to osseointegration and implant survival rate, but also include biological and clinical stability. At present, it is still controversial whether the keratinized mucosa around the implant is a necessary condition to maintain the clinical stability of the implant. This article reviewed the clinical significance and research progress of keratinized mucosa width on peri-implant tissue health.

Key words: Keratinized mucosa, Peri-implantitis, Marginal bone loss
