A Health Education Video in an Indigenous Nigerian Language to Dispel Misconceptions Associated with Reversal of Eruption Sequence of Anterior Teeth
(2019) Bankole, O.O.; Ibiyemi, O.; Lawal, F.B
Research findings conducted in Nigeria have revealed grave misconceptions regarding eruption of maxillary anterior teeth before the mandibular ones in children as affected individuals are believed to be evil, carriers of misfortune and their families are deemed cursed. Such children are stigmatized, abandoned and may be gotten rid of. A twenty three minute culturally appropriate video in the Yoruba language titled “Baba Yoyin” (meaning male tooth extractor -traditional dentist ) was developed to demystify the Nigerian community about misconceptions associated with reversal of eruption sequence of teeth and educate them about hazards associated with patronizing traditional dentists and the need to visit a dentist/doctor for advice. In the pre -production stage, the video was designed and planned and the cast , crew and appropriate locations for shooting the film shooting were selected . In the production stage, filming was done with several wide, medium and close shots. At post production, the film was edited with a sound mix comprising of sound effects and music. Computer graphic effects were added digitally. This video was produced in Yoruba, an indigenous Nigerian language to serve as a culturally appropriate community dental health education tool targeting nursing mothers, pregnant women, and traditional birth attendants from the lower social class in south western Nigeria. The storyline in this video tape will be translated into Igbo and Hausa , the two other major Nigerian languages. This videotape can be repeated in other African settings whose societies experience similar misconceptions about tooth eruption
Dental care seeking behaviour of children in a rural Nigerian community
(2016) Lawal,F. B.; Ibiyemi, O.; Taiwo J.O.; Oke, G.A
There is sparse information about oral health seeking behaviour of children in rural areas of developing countries. The aim of the study was to determine the dental care seeking behaviour of children attending the first rural based community oral health centre in Nigeria. A retrospective review of records of patients aged 16 years or younger treated at the Primary Oral Health Care Centre in Ibarapa, Nigeria over six years was conducted. Data on sociodemographic characteristics of the patients, pattern of presentation and their oral hygiene practices were collected and processed using SPSS. A total of 239 paediatric patients were seen during the period with a mean age of 9.7 ± 4.4 years and 132 (55.2%) were males. The majority, 225 (94.1%), were presenting for the first time. All the children sought dental care for one problem or the other and the most common reasons for seeking care were: tooth ache in 105 (43.9%), trauma in 30 (12.6%) and perceived unclean mouth in 20 (8.4%) patients. Older children were more likely to seek dental care because of pain (p < 0.001), while younger children sought care principally on account of trauma (p < 0.001) and the under 5 years were seen more often for gum ache (p = 0.006). The majority, 175 (73.2%), used toothbrush and 182 (76.2%) cleaned their teeth once daily. None of the children presented for routine check-up, rather, consultation was as a result of dental problems with toothache being the most common reason

(2013-06) Dedeke, A. A.; Osuh, M. E.; Lawal, F. B.; Ibiyemi, O.; Bankole, O. O.; Taiwo, J. O.; Denloye, O.; Oke, G. A.
Background: School teachers play key roles in imparting appropriate and up-to-date knowledge to pupils and students. However, most teachers in developing countries like Nigeria have poor knowledge and motivation about oral health which may be due to inadequate training in the area of oral health. This might be one of the reasons for the poor oral hygiene among them and their students. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an oral health care training programme organized for teachers in Eruwa, Oyo state, Nigeria. Methods: An intervention study was conducted among 40 school teachers who attended a two day oral health training workshop at Eruwa, headquarters of Ibarapa East Local Government Area. Training methods included lectures and demonstrations on aetiology, clinical features, treatment and prevention of common oral diseases. Pre- and post- evaluation written tests were administered to the participants to assess the effectiveness of the training. The knowledge scores were rated as poor, fair and good knowledge scoring <50.0%, 50.0-60.0% and > 60.0% respectively. Frequencies, percentages and means of relevant variables were generated. Paired t-test was used to compare means at P<0.05. Result: The mean age of the teachers was 40.13 ±7.24 years. There were 16 (40.0%) males and 24 (60.0%) females. Twenty (50.0%) of the participants had poor pre-training knowledge as compared to 7 (17.5%) after the training. Thirteen (32.5%) had fair pre-training knowledge as compared to 17 (42.5%) post training. Only (2.5%) of the participants had good pre-training knowledge as compared to 18 (45.0%) post training. The mean scores of the pre- and post-evaluation tests were 31.70 ±11.31 and 48.20 ±11.16 respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the pre and post evaluations P<0.05. Conclusions: The training workshop improved the knowledge ofschool teachers regarding oral health
