Figure 2.   3D Printed Model of a Lower Jaw

This patient was planned for anterior resection of the mandible due to osteomyelitis, and thus a reconstruction titanium plate was used for fixation of the remaining bony fragments. A 3D model was printed allowing for pre-bending of the reconstruction plate prior to the operation, thus reducing operation duration and allowing for easy and accurate adaptation of the plate following the resection.
