 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Rapid prototyping technology in the mandibular defect Application Analysis: High-Jun Wu Xue Yuping Gao Xiang Li Dichen [Abstract] Objective: Rapid prototyping technology in the individual mandible titanium prosthesis design and production. Methods: 1 case of rapid prototyping technology to complete individual reconstruction of mandibular defect in the design and production of the body, and complete its implantation . Results: The individual patients in the titanium prosthesis in place smoothly, all parts meet the design position. Conclusions: The rapid prototyping technologies mandible individual reconstruction method is simple, precise fix, a unique advantage. [Keywords:] rapid prototyping; mandible; individual titanium prosthesis Surface of the mandible in the lower 1 / 3, often because of cancer, trauma, inflammation and dysplasia and other causes defects and deformities. Mandible is closely related not only beautiful, but also shared the maxillary chewing function, and keep the airway open while also have a certain relationship between the treatment of its defects has always been of concern. Currently, more than mandibular defects with artificial materials (titanium reconstruction plate etc.) and the biological material (autologous bone, allograft bone, xenograft bone) to repair, bone graft or titanium for the shaping and facial appearance of the building, based on skull specimens except the surgeon, but are based on personal clinical experience to estimate subjective large, poor reproducibility is difficult to recover the ideal facial shape. Rapid Prototyping is rapid, accurate, and the characteristics of good manufacturing complex entity, according to three-dimensional product model data, without the aid of other tools and equipment, quickly and accurately to produce the product. be used in mandibular defect, for different the situation in patients with bone defects, with individual design and manufacture of mandible su
