(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 9 - A 22-year-old African migrant who lost
the use of his jaws after being tortured on the long journey
from central Africa had his mandible reconstructed in Caserta

custom-designed and made with 3D printing technology, was
successfully performed at the "Sant'Anna e San Sebastiano"
