Abstract: The inadequate thickness of keratinized mucosa around implants can lead to marginal bone loss and increase the risk of peri-implant disease, which is harmful to peri-implant health. It is believed that soft tissue transplantation can effectively enlarge keratinized mucosa thickness, improve soft tissue health and promote the success rate of implant surgery. This paper summarized the recent reports on gaining keratinized mucosa thickness around implants in different ways and at different times, aims to provide theoretical reference for the selection of current surgical approaches and further research.

Key words: Implants, Keratinized mucosa thickness, Marginal bone loss, Connective tissue graft
