Dynamics of dust is strongly influenced by the gas drag force. Even if the amount of the disk gas is as small as a lunar mass, the gas drag force on ~10 micrometer grains is stronger than Poynting-Robertson drag, and it causes grains' orbital evolution with a timescale less than the collisional timescale in the typical debris disks. Therefore, presence of a small amount of the gas may considerably affect the structure of debris disks. From observed structures of dust disks, we can estimate the masses of their gas components. I will present a brief review of the dust-gas interaction and discuss how it causes structures of dust disks.
