Introduction: The implant is considered a predictable and satisfactory procedure. However, after its installation, some soft tissue defects may appear, compromising the aesthetics and health of peri-implant tissues. Thus, various soft tissue grafting techniques are used as a means of reversing these failures. Objective: To analyze the main mucogingival surgical techniques performed in the region of dental implants. Method: This study was carried out through a literature review, using books and scientific articles, available in Portuguese, English and Spanish from 2015, obtained through the electronic databases PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs and Google Scholar. Result: The integrative review showed that it is possible to associate soft tissue graft surgeries in rehabilitation with dental implants, restoring harmony and gingival health. Conclusion: In cases of involvement of soft peri-implant structures, the dental surgeon can use mucogingival surgical techniques to maintain the health and aesthetics of peri-implant tissues.
