Introduction: Access to dental services is a challenge for lower to middle-income individuals. Tukang gigi, an alternative to dentists, offers more affordable oral health care. Governed by Ministry of Health Regulation No. 39 of 2014, tukang gigi's authority is limited to acrylic dentures.

Despite benefiting from dental artisan work, consumers are ignorant of legal protections when these practitioners breach government rules. Tukang gigi often break the law owing to a lack of information or compliance, so they are at risk without legal protection. In contrast to Spain, where denturists cannot practice dentistry. Only dentists and dental technicians are legally recognized in Spain. This is because dentistry skill requires strict requirements. Dental professionals monitor actions closely to reduce misconduct. Dental care is affordable.
