A titanium mandibular reconstruction plate with condylar head extension was bent into anatomical shape with the aid of 3-D bio-printed model of the simulated normal mandible. The plate was then secured to the normal side of the mandible with bicortical screws. The surgical defect was then closed in layers (Figure 7).
