Abstract
Mandibular reconstructions employing patient-specific, pre-bent reconstruction plates made using an in-house 3D printer show significantly better three-dimensional accuracy compared with intraoperatively bent plates. The described method prevents rotational error of the mandibular angle and improves restoration of the physiological intercondylar angle in mandible reconstruction after continuity resection.
