    <abstract locale="en_US">We present a treatment option for extensive mandibular resection using CAD/CAM technology. This option allows for the patient&#x2019;s immediate and complete rehabilitation and has advantages over autografts. A 73-year-old female patient was diagnosed with Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG). The proposed treatment plan involved an angle-to-angle resection of the mandible along with free flap surgery using an autologous iliac graft; however, the patient declined this option. As a final treatment plan, the possibility of utilizing a customized titanium prosthesis as a patient-specific implant (PSI) was considered. The patient was discharged in good general condition, and remarkably, full function was recovered within 24 hours. Additionally, the patient was able to speak and eat after just 5 hours, a testament to the swift recovery this treatment option offers. The primary benefits of this method are immediate results and swift, accurate surgical procedures, which provide reassurance of its efficiency.&#xA0;
