AbstractPurpose: To study the effectiveness of Steriolithogrphy rapid prototype model in Mandible and maxilla reconstruction. Methods and Materials: We present here our case series of 6 patients having maxilla or mandible reconstruction. These patients are reconstructed with free fibula graft which has been moulded at the donor site itself. Results: Reconstruction of these bones with free fibula is quite effective. The amount of graft required could be determined preoperatively. The operative time was reduced significantly. Conclusion: Simulation of surgery using rapid prototype model helps to predetermine the amount of graft required, reduces the operative time and also preoperatively determines the shape of reconstructed bone.
