Implant denture has been widely used in the clinic due to its features of comfort and beauty. Besides, it brings a good recovery of masticatory function and a successful avoidance or reduction of the natural teeth’s preparation. The fine bone union（osseointegration） formed between the titanium matrix implant and its surrounding tissue is key to the clinical success of implant denture. It is quite important to achieve better osseointegration as early as possible so as to realize the early loading, even immediate loading and long-term stability of the implant. The modification of the implant surface is an important means to improve osseointegration. Various kinds of bioactive peptides/proteins have been the research focus in implant surface modification by the material experts owing to their certain bone growth. A review of the research progress is given in this paper concerning the bioactive peptide/protein modification of the implant surface.
