    Mandibular Nerve

    Uploaded by

    The mandibular nerve is the largest mixed branch of the trigeminal nerve. It exits the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale and divides into an anterior and posterior trunk. The posterior trunk gives rise to the auriculotemporal and inferior alveolar nerves. The inferior alveolar nerve innervates the lower teeth and chin and gives off the mylohyoid branch. The anterior trunk supplies motor branches to the muscles of mastication and sensory branches like the buccal and masseteric nerves.

    MANDIBULAR NERVE

    • Largest mixed branch of trigeminal nerve


    • Nerve of 1st branchial arch
    • COURSE & RELATIONS
    • Begins in middle cranial fossa through
    • A)large sensory root – arise from lateral part of trigeminal ganglion
    Leaves cranial cavity through foramen ovale
    • B)small motor root – lies deep to trigeminal ganglion & sensory root
    Passes through foramen ovale & joins sensory root below the foramen
    forming main trunk
    Main trunk lies in infratemporal fossa, on tensor palati, deep to lateral
    pterygoid
    After short course, main trunk divide into small anterior trunk
    large posterior trunk

    LINGUAL NERVE
    It is sensory to anterior 2/3rd of tongue & to floor of mouth
    •COURSE
    • Begins 1cm below skull

    • Lies in contact with mandible
    •Lies on surface of hyoglossus & genioglossus to reach tongue
    •RELATIONS
    • Begins 1cm below tongue. Runs between tensor veli palatini & lateral
    pterygoid & then between lateral & medial pterygoid.
    • About 2cm below skull, it is joined by chorda tympani
    • Emerges at lower border of lateral pterygoid & runs between ramus of
    mandible & medial pterygoid
    • Lies in contact with mandible, medial to 3rd molar between the origins
    of superior constrictor & mylohyoid muscles
    •Leaves gums & runs over hyoglossus deep to mylohoid & lies on
    surface of genioglossus deep to mylohyoid
    •Here it winds around submandibular duct & divides into terminal
    INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE
    • Larger terminal branch of posterior division of mandibular nerve
    • Runs lateral to medial pterygoid & sphenomandibular ligament
    •Enters mandibular foramen & runs in mandibular canal
    •Accompanied by inferior alveolar artery
    •BRANCHES
    1)MYLOHYOID BRANCH

    Pierces sphenomandibular ligament with mylohyoid artery
    Runs in mylohyoid groove, supplies mylohyoid muscle & anterior belly of
    digastric
    While running in mandibular canal the inferior alveolar nerve gives
    branch that supply lower teeth & gums
    2)Mental nerve
    Emerges at mental foramen
