Badri Teymourtash: The Pioneer and First Woman to Lead a Dental School in the World

Even after her retirement at the age of eighty-one, Teymourtash continued to teach and mentor students. She remained active in academic life until she fell into a coma shortly before her death. Her lifelong devotion to education reflected her belief that knowledge was a form of service to humanity. She had no children of her own, yet many of her students regarded her as their “mother,” while she affectionately called them her “light of the eyes.”
