3D Printed Models for Mandibular Fracture Repair

The investigators will test the hypothesis that patients randomized to the intervention (3D printing with pre-bent plate) arm have less operative room time and less time for the critical part of the procedure than patients in the control arm (no 3D printing, current standards of care). Personalized medicine and care for fracture treatment.
