Abstract: The present study evaluated dental angulation and vestibular bone table thickness in anterosuperior teeth in order to optimize immediate implant placement. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 30 teeth in 15 patients were analyzed, considering the distance between the amelo-cementary boundary and the bone crest, as well as tooth angulation. The results indicated that bone thickness varies at different heights and that the average angulation is greater in men than in women. However, a clear correlation between bone thickness and dental angulation could not be established due to the sample size. The study highlights the importance of these factors in achieving an esthetic and functional result in implant dentistry, suggesting the need for further research to validate these findings and optimize implantation techniques.
