Abstract
A life-size nylon model of a traumatized mandible was produced from CT scan data by the process of laser sintering. The model was used for pre-operative planning and for production of surgical aids in order to facilitate the restoration of a large bony defect. Vascularized iliac crest bone was harvested, titanium implants placed and the bone then grafted to the mandible.
