The Anil Chandra Memorial FTEDG award honors the late AAE international member from Uttar Pratesh, India, who was Dean of the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics and a senior professor in the Faculty of Dental Sciences at King George Medical University in Lucknow. He was 61 at the time of his death due to COVID-19. The recipient of the Chandra Memorial FTEDG will be announced at AAE22 Phoenix.
One Chandra FTEDG award will now be given annually. Dr. Chandra’s illustrious career as a dental educator and endodontist includes a global network of clinicians he mentored during dental school and graduate training; numerous publications and awards; and appointments at North American universities including UCLA, SUNY, and Rutgers. He held four patents, edited three Indian dental journals, and served extensively in volunteer leadership roles in addition to giving presentations at dental conferences around the world. Dr. Chandra was widely revered as a passionate advocate for advancing access to specialty training and standards of endodontic education, and for his kind willingness to stay in touch and remain a mentor well after his students completed their training. Donations from across the globe fully funded the award only weeks after launching the appeal.
Dr. Chandra is survived by his wife Sangeeta, daughter Ahana, and son Ananya.
