Welcome to the Perio-Prosth Institute. A premier continuing education hub dedicated to advancing the art and science of interdisciplinary dentistry.

Founded by Dr. Ernesto Lee, the Perio-Prosth Institute carries forward the timeless treatment philosophy of Drs. Walter Cohen and Morton Amsterdam. Our programs honor this legacy while integrating the latest advances in technology and clinical techniques to elevate contemporary interdisciplinary therapy.

What is Perio-Prosth (Periodontal Prosthesis)?

Perio-Prosth is an advanced discipline of Prosthodontics that integrates the fields of Periodontics, Orthodontics, and Fixed Prosthodontics to manage complex cases using a unique approach that recognizes the mouth as a unified biological system. More than interdisciplinary collaboration, it represents a transdisciplinary philosophy of care that dissolves artificial boundaries and replaces them with a coherent, system-centered diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In this model, every diagnosis is biologic, every restoration is biomechanical, and every treatment plan is guided by the integration of function, esthetics, and long-term stability.
