Prof. Eyitope O. Ogunbodede convened this maiden congress. The Association was formally approved as a Section by the IADR Central Board at the 81st Annual IADR Congress held in Goteburg, Sweden in June 2003.

The Nigerian Division is the only one in the West African Sub-region and other countries such as Ghana, Gambia, Senegal and Ivory Coast have indicated interest in being part of the Division. The two Scientific Congresses held till date have had members attending not only from Nigeria but also other West African Countries. Membership of the section comprises of frontline dental researchers in the West African sub-region.
