To maintain dental occlusion, spatial position, and bony
contour after extensive in juries to them and ibleand continuity defects, proper adaptation of reconstruction plates
is essential. For mandibular reconstruction after resection
of cancer, the use of rapid prototyping to construct 3-dimensional stereolithographic models for patient-specific, pre-bent reconstruction plates has been well described and is
now common.1–7 We describe what may be the firstre ported
use of a rapid prototype model and patient-specific, pre-bent
reconstruction plate in a patient with a complex mandibular injury
