dc.description.abstractLately in Malaysia, there is an arise on the issue of dental quackery conducted by quack dentists. Quack dentists are individuals who conducts dental procedures illegally without proper educational dental background, and their treatment includes braces, dentures and dental veneers. The increase of desire to have better smile and dental aesthetics with cheaper service has led to the arise of this illegal cosmetic dental treatment. This case report describes a case of replacement of a single missing tooth by a quack dentist. Bizarre aesthetic and restorative outcome were noted as six-unit fixed partial denture (dental bridge) was used to replace only one missing tooth 11, involving over the area of five teeth (area of tooth 13 until tooth 22). Other problems related to the bridge was also discussed. It is hoped that this case report will highlight the presence of quack dentistry in the area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and will urge the authorities to devise a strong national oral health policy to culminate this unethical dental practice.en_US
