Abstract

Fake dentistry is a term used to describe any dental procedures done by bogus, unqualified dentists who perform various dental procedure without proper educational background. In Malaysia, a well-trained, qualified dentist is required to register to ensure they are committed in ensuring a professional, safe, high quality and ethical dental practice. The issues of fake dentistry had gone worldwide; not only involving the emerging of  fake practitioners but also raises concerns over the authenticity of dental equipment being used and available in the global market. This necessitates the interaction between the profession, public and dental suppliers. A qualified dentists is strictly recommended to continuously liaise with licensed dental dealers in order to get a constant supply of genuine dental products and equipment for their clinics. The public must be able to identify the authenticity of a practitioner’s academic claims by examining their practice and checking whether they are registered to ensure they all possess a license in good standing and that their educational claims are authentic.

Abstract








Yasadışı diş hekimliği, uygun eğitim geçmişi olmadan çeşitli diş işlemlerini yapan sahte, vasıfsız dişhekimleri tarafından yapılan diş işlemlerini tanımlamak için kullanılan bir terimdir.
Yasadışı dişhekimliği sorunları dünya çapında yaşanmıştı; Sadece yasadışı uygulayıcıların ortaya çıkmasını sağlamakla kalmayıp, aynı zamanda küresel pazarda kullanılmakta ve kulla-
nılmakta olan diş ekipmanlarının gerçekliğine dair endişeleri de beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu meslekler, halk ve diş tedarikçileri arasındaki etkileşimi gerektirir. Kalifiye bir dişhekiminin,
kliniklerinde sürekli gerçek bir dişhekimi ürün ve ekipmanı temin etmek için sürekli olarak lisanslı dişhekimi satıcılarıyla irtibat kurması tavsiye edilir. Malezya’da, iyi eğitimli, nitelikli bir
diş hekiminin profesyonel, güvenli, kaliteli ve etik bir diş hekimliği uygulaması sağlama taahhüdünde olmalarını sağlamak için kayıt yaptırmaları gerekir. Halk, bir uygulayıcının akademik
iddialarının doğruluğunu, uygulamalarını inceleyerek ve hepsinin iyi bir lisansa sahip olmalarını sağlamak için kayıtlı olup olmadıklarını ve eğitim taleplerinin gerçek olup olmadıklarını
kontrol ederek tespit edebilmelidir.
