Name:Olushola IBIYEMI Department: Periodontology and Community Dentistry ORCID Profile Biography: Dr Olushola Ibiyemi graduated with a Bachelor in Dental Surgery Degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria in 1997 receiving the Provost College of Medicine Award for the Best Male Graduate. He obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer and management from the University of Lagos in 1999 and a Diploma in Community Oral Health from UMC St Radboud, Nijmengen, The Netherlands in 2006. He had his residency training in Community Dentistry at the University College Hospital Ibadan obtaining the Fellowship of Medical College of Dental Surgery in 2007. During the residency training he carried out a research on use of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment in the treatment of dental caries (dental decay) among primary school children. He joined the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Ibadan in 2008 and obtained a Masters in Public Health from same university in 2011 after undertaking a research on factors associated with tooth loss and replacement among the elderly. In that same year, he was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship to study at the Newcastle University United Kingdom where he obtained a PhD in 2016. During my PhD, he undertook a research on factors associated with the occurrence of dental fluorosis among 4 and 8 year old children. This PhD work was the first study that investigated the influence of environmental and genetic factors in the occurrence of dental fluorosis among African children. In 2006, he was appointed a programme officer for the McArthur Foundation Funded Community Oral Health Program, where he supervised the establishment of a Community Dental Clinic and a rural dental education program in Nigeria. As part of this funded program, training programs were undertaken for community health extension workers and school teachers to build and increase their capacity on early detection and appropriate referral of patients with oral disease conditions. This program is still existing and has provided opportunity for hundreds of patients to be dentally educated and treated, many undergraduate and postgraduate students to be exposed to rural dentistry and many community health extension workers and teachers to be trained in oral health care. As part of the programme, he directly improvised a source of water coolant for unltrasonic scaler used in the established community dental clinic to create and increase access to professional oral prophylaxis. In 2009, he co-investigated a project that developed a video used as a culturally appropriate dental health education tool for children from the southwestern part of Nigeria. The effectiveness of the video has been measured and it showed that the video significantly improve oral hygiene among school children from lower socioeconomic group. The video is currently been used in oral health education programs for children in the southwestern region of Nigeria. In 2017, he got a small grant from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund of Nigeria to undertake a research on enamel defects in Ibarapa, Oyo State, Nigeria. This project investigated the influence of fluoride intake and excretion on the occurrence of developmental defects of enamel and dental fluorosis among 5 and 9 year-old Nigerian Children living in Ibarapa, Oyo State. Information from this project will improve the basis for decisions concerning exposure to fluoride at individual and community level. In 2019, Dr Olushola got a grant from the FDI World Dental Federation to undertake a research on Traditional/Folk Song: A tool for oral hygiene promotion among children and teenagers in rural communities in Nigeria. This research is about 90% complete. In 2020, he was part of an international network of researchers working on a project to advocate and promote oral health literacy principles to help patients achieve Whole Mouth Health. This project was also funded by the FDI World Dental Federation and is about 70% complete. His research focus includes oral health of the elderly, fluoride metabolism, the role of environmental and genetic factors in the occurrence of dental fluorosis and oral disease surveillance with particular interest in sub-Saharan Africa. Current Research and Grants Title: Traditional/Folk Song: A tool for oral hygiene promotion among children and teenagers in rural communities in Nigeria Funder: FDI World Dental Federation Brief Summary: In most developing countries like Nigeria, investment in oral health is low and the costs of managing oral diseases alone would exceed the total health care budget. A variety of evidence-based approaches for oral diseases management have been reported; however, these strategies demand significant financial investment and infrastructure and depend heavily on the availability of workforce resulting in high burden of untreated oral diseases which are majorly caused by poor oral hygiene. The need for improved efforts and innovative management strategies for oral hygiene promotion remains sparse. The study will involve: 1. Development of the traditional rhyme (folk song) in Yoruba, a major Nigerian language by school teachers, parents/legal guardians, local musicians, music experts and oral health researchers from the University of Ibadan on adequate oral hygiene practices; 2. Validation of the developed traditional rhyme by school children, teachers and parents/legal guardians; 3. Determination of pre-intervention oral hygiene behaviour using WHO children and adolescents oral hygiene questionnaire and clinical dental examination for presence of dental caries and oral hygiene status using the dmft/DMFT and simplified oral hygiene indices respectively among study participants in the experimental and control groups; 4. Intervention by singing the developed traditional rhyme (folk song) on adequate oral hygiene practices in schools and homes for participants in the experimental group and delivering of same message in the song verbally to the control group; 5. Determination of post-intervention oral hygiene behaviour among participants in both groups using the questionnaire used in the pre-intervention and clinical dental examination for presence of dental caries and oral hygiene status using the dmft/DMFT and simplified oral hygiene indices respectively among study participants in the experimental and control groups at 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month.

Title: A co-produced approach to improve Whole Mouth Health of secondary school adolescents in Nigeria Funder: FDI World Dental Federation Brief Summary: The study will involve: 1. Co-produce or co-design workshops which will be undertaken among groups of 8-10 public secondary school children aged 12 to 15 years to explore the knowledge and practice of adolescents to oral health. The workshops will be undertaken until data is saturated. Data collection materials such as question guide will be developed from literature and interactions with specialists in community dentistry and pediatric dentistry. The workshops will be recorded in a recorder in a quiet room that will be provided in the school premises. In addition, the researcher and assistant will take notes in the research diary. 2. The themes and subthemes developed from the workshops will be used to modify the WHO Adolescents Oral Health Behaviour questionnaire which will then be administered to the study participants by the interviewer. 3. The study participants will then be clinically dentally examined for the presence of dental caries and oral hygiene status using the dmft/DMFT and simplified oral hygiene indices respectively. The workshops will be transcribed verbatim and the qualitative data will be analysed using thematic approach while the quantitative data will be analysed using both descriptive and analytical approaches. A p-value of less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals will be used to make comparisons between subgroups. Role: Co-investigatorProfile
