Abstract

Mandibular reconstructions are complex clinical pictures that require careful planning for functional and aesthetic outcomes. Virtual surgical planning and 3D printing are ideal to achieve a predictable result. Through “hybrid techniques” (prebending plates with 3D-models) and free software, this goal is within reach for clinics with limited financial resources.
