In current practices, the most reliable therapy is instant reconstruction of defects using musculo-osseous flaps, harvested from the fibula, iliac crest, or scapula and are microvascularly anastomosed (a surgical anastomosis is a surgical technique used to make a new connection made between two body structures that carry fluid, such as blood vessels or bowel). However, the instant reconstruction of continuity defects of mandible is not always possible. These techniques are sensitive, associated with donor site morbidity, and may have limitation in shape and size of graft, which often precludes their use.

It is well known that in the last decade RP has been more and more extensively used in many biomedical applications. Combined with traditional computed tomography (CT) and computer aided design (CAD) approaches, additive manufacturing (AM) technologies may be used nowadays as tools to directly produce customized surgical devices (customized implants/customized scaffolds/CSOG) in different suitable materials. These customized surgical devices may be designed according to the preoperative virtual surgical planning (VSP) of the surgical intervention to assure the correct transfer in the operating theatre when the surgery is carried out and therefore satisfy the functional and aesthetic requirements.
