Fig 6: Intraoperative: incision through extended lip split
(left), surgical defect after tumor resection with a display of lingual
nerve.
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).
