With a career spanning prestigious institutions across India and the United States, Dr. Bose Pillai has dedicated herself to the art and science of saving natural teeth through advanced root canal therapies and specialized dental interventions. Her journey began in India, where she earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) from Gauhati University, igniting her passion for endodontics. After practicing as a consultant endodontist in multiple private clinics, she pursued further excellence in the USA, obtaining her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Dentistry in 2016. During her time at UCSF, she was elected social chair for the DDS Class of 2016, AGD secretary, and class representative for ASDA, while receiving the prestigious Nguyen T. Nguyen Scholarship for extraordinary achievement and excellence in endodontics[1][2][4][5].
Building on this foundation, Dr. Bose Pillai completed the rigorous Masters in Medical Sciences (MMSc) program in Endodontics at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, graduating in 2019. This elite training equipped her with comprehensive expertise in all phases of surgical and non-surgical endodontic therapy, including complex re-treatments of posts, silver points, and separated instruments, as well as pediatric trauma management through apexification and apexogenesis. Her externship at Children’s Hospital of Boston provided specialized skills in pediatric endodontics, while advanced microsurgery training at the Harvard School of Dental Surgery enables her to perform endodontic microsurgery routinely with precision[1][2][4]. Her accolades include the Dentsply Sirona Resident Award at the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) 2019 conference in Montreal for her innovative case presentation on autotransplantation of teeth, underscoring her commitment to cutting-edge research and clinical innovation[1][2].
