Back in 1990, Dr. Salvador Congost got to know the American dentist and biologist Robert Lee, DMD, in the course of his postgraduate education. Dr. Congost was immediately impressed and won over by Lee’s comprehensive, biologically-oriented view of the function of the masticatory system, which extends far beyond what was taught at universities then and still is today. Understanding the masticatory system as a separate, highly sensitive biofunctional organ that exists in equilibrium with the rest of the body opens up a wide range of possible diagnoses and treatments for functional disorders.

Originally from Munich, Dr. Congost has had his own practice specializing in the functional rehabilitation of the masticatory system and in restorative dentistry in Kinsau, Bavaria, since 1988.
