Introduction: Since the discovery and development of the study on osseointegration, shape, topography, texture, and surface treatment of dental implants have emerged as new ways to improve the quality of these materials, as well as osseointegration. Objective: This study aimed, through a literature review, to expose the types of surface treatment of dental implants, as well as cellular interactions relative to this material and how they affect osseointegration speed and quality. Methods: The study was conducted by a literature survey in Lilacs, Medline, Scielo, and Bireme databases, using as keywords "surface treatments", "osseointegration", "dental implants", and "implant surface". Literature review: Surface roughness and high degree of hydrophilicity are able to improve the results of osseointegration. In addition, surfaces subjected to acid attack and sandblasting, as well as chemically modified surfaces present satisfactory clinical results in early loadings, poor bone quality, and medically compromised patients. Final considerations: Although studies have shown that implants with rough surface have a larger contact area between bone tissue and the outer portion of implants, the literature does not present a consensus as to the best type of surface treatment.
