Three-Dimensional Accuracy of Mandibular Reconstruction by Patient-Specific Pre-Bent Reconstruction Plates using an “In-House” 3D-Printer

The purpose of this study was to compare the three-dimensional accuracy of mandibular reconstruction following mandible continuity resection in patients treated with patient-specific, pre-bent reconstruction plates, using an ‘in-house’ 3D printer, with that in patients treated with conventional, intraoperatively bent plates.
