The replacement mandible is constructed of titanium that was built up in layers using a 3D printer and fused using a laser. It was a tailor-made design that only took a few hours to create, rather than the several days typical handmade replacements take to put together. In order for the woman’s immune system to accept the jaw, the titanium was coated with a bioceramic.
