The preliminary safety and accuracy of a modified 3D-printed reconstruction plate (3DPRP) for mandible segmental defects were evaluated. Two patients with mandible segmental defects who underwent reconstruction using 3DPRPs were included in the study. No dead space, wound healing failures or fractures were observed. The mean deviations for the two patients were 0.59 and 0.57Â mm and the condyle…
