title: [Clinical application of custom-made key-key attachment in the restoration of maxillofacial defect].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the usefulness of custom-made key-key attachment in restoration of maxillofacial defect.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using key-key attachment, facial prostheses and intraoral prostheses were combined to restore dentition, maxilla and right facial defects in a female patient.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Good retention of maxillofacial prostheses and intraoral prostheses were obtained. The appearance of the patient was remarkably improved. The function of mastication was improved.
