Digitally Guided Augmentation With an Autogenous Bone Cylinder-Digital CarroTrack Technique: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This case report presents the surgical and prosthetic treatment of posterior mandibular tooth loss using a digitally guided augmentation technique with an autogenous bone cylinder, referred to as the Digital CarroTrack Technique. The method represents a digital modification of the autogenous bone cylinder harvesting technique (carrot technique) described by Khoury and integrates implant planning with guided bone augmentation. A 33-year-old female patient presented for implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of missing mandibular molars following previous orthodontic treatment. Diagnostic assessment included CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, and clinical examination. Implant placement at Sites #36 and #46 was digitally planned using dedicated software, and a surgical guide incorporating sleeves for implant drills, trephine drills, and stabilizing screw placement was designed. Bone cylinders were harvested using a trephine guided through the custom-designed sleeve and stabilized laterally to the implant sites with fixation screws, followed by augmentation with a bone substitute material. After a 3-month healing period, digital impressions were obtained, and screw-retained zirconia crowns on Ti-base abutments were fabricated and delivered. Radiographic and clinical evaluation confirmed successful bone reconstruction and stable peri-implant tissues. Stabilizing screws were removed during a follow-up visit using a minimally invasive approach. Three-year follow-up demonstrated stable hard and soft tissues and satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes. The presented technique enables precise integration of digital implant planning with localized autogenous bone augmentation and may represent a minimally invasive approach for the reconstruction of small alveolar ridge deficiencies in implant dentistry.
