A father and son dentist duo who mutilated 400 patients during a reign of terror have been jailed in France.<\/p>\n

Lionel Guedj, 43, and his father Jean-Claude Guedj, 71, who were sentenced by the Court of Appeal in Aix-en-Provence, Marseilles, have recently had their sentences upheld.<\/p>\n

Lionel was sentenced to eight years in prison while his father was sentenced to just five years in prison.<\/p>\n

They were accused of mutilating around 400 patients from the city\u2019s working-class neighbourhoods between 2006 and 2012.<\/p>\n

Le Figaro reported that the pair were also accused of committing fraud of up to 1.7million euros (\u00a31.4million).<\/p>\n

Lionel Guedj was originally sentenced for mutilating around 300 people in September 2022.<\/p>\n

The court heard how he had reportedly promised people a \u201cstar smile\u201d but multiple patients were given unnecessary dental operations.<\/p>\n

Speaking to local media one of the victims, Samir, 33, described how Lionel Guedj convinced him he needed to have several operations.<\/p>\n

He said that he was suffering from a cavity but was told his teeth were \u201cat the end of their life\u201d.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, he agreed to have his teeth filed down; they were reportedly later replaced with \u201cpoor quality\u201d bridges. He said that his mouth was \u201cconstantly swollen\u201d and that it was \u201ccarnage\u201d.<\/p>\n

Zin, 20, was another victim of Mr Guedj. During a routine check up he was told that he had the worst teeth in the world and so allegedly told him to do what was necessary.<\/p>\n

It was reported that every time he returned he was in intense pain only for his condition to worsen. He said: \u201cHe told me the problem was on the next tooth. Today, I only eat on the right side.\u201d<\/p>\n
