Study Notes
- Trigeminal Nerve is the fifth cranial nerve, responsible for general sensory afferents to the face and motor functions to the muscles of mastication
- Superior Alveolar Nerve is a branch of the Trigeminal Nerve that provides innervation to the lacrimal gland and the upper teeth, including the molar, premolar, and incisor teeth, as well as the corresponding gingiva and cheek
- The nerve branches off the main trunk of the maxillary nerve just before it enters the infraorbital groove or canal
- It descends on the maxillary tuberosity and enters the post. alveolar canals on the infratemporal surface of the maxilla
- It communicates with the middle superior alveolar nerve and gives branches to the mucosa of the maxillary sinus molars and the corresponding gingiva
- The nerve passes through the canaliculi in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in 62% of cases or under the mucous membrane of the sinus in 38% cases
- In cases where the middle superior alveolar nerve is absent, the premolars are also innervated by the posterior superior alveolar nerve
- The nerve gives rise to 4 groups of terminal branches on reaching the molar teeth: dental branches, alveolar branches, mucous branches, and bone branches
- Infraorbital Canal is a nerve canal that carries the infraorbital nerve and its branches, including the middle and anterior superior alveolar nerves
- The middle superior alveolar nerve branches off the infraorbital nerve in the infraorbital canal and runs in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, supplying the premolars
- The anterior superior alveolar nerve leaves the infraorbital nerve in the orbital groove and enters the ant. wall of the maxillary sinus, dividing into branches that supply the incisors and canine teeth
- The superior dental plexus arises from the plexus of the branches of the middle alveolar and anterior superior alveolar nerves in the maxillary alveolar process
- Nasal branches arise from this plexus and pass through a small canal in the lateral wall of the inferior meatus of the nose, supplying the mucous membrane of the anterior area of the lateral wall and floor of the nasal cavity
- The Maxillary Nerve, CN V2, gives rise to several branches that originate from the pterygopalatine ganglion, including the greater and lesser palatine nerves and the nasopalatine nerve
- The greater palatine nerve descends through the greater palatine canal and the greater palatine foramen, innervating the hard palate and palatal gingiva
- The lesser palatine nerve descends through the lesser palatine foramen and innervates the uvula, tonsil, and soft palate, anastomosing with the glossopharyngeal nerve to form a tonsillar plexus around the palatine tonsil
- The nasopalatine nerve is the largest of the nasal branches, entering the nasal cavity through the sphenopalatine foramen, reaching the nasal septum, and exiting the nasal cavity through the incisive foramen to innervate the mucosa of the anterior part of the hard palate and palatal gingiva near the canine teeth
- The nasopalatine nerve may also communicate with the branches of the greater palatine nerve and innervate the incisor teeth, making the nasopalatine nerve block necessary to complete the anaesthesia of the central incisor
- The Maxillary Nerve also gives rise to branches that emerge on the face through the infraorbital foramen, including the inferior palpebral, the external nasal, the internal nasal, and the superior labial branches for the sensory innervation to the skin of the eyelid, nose, cheek, and upper lip
- The Mandibular Nerve, CN V3, is the largest of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve and is responsible for the sensory innervation to the skin over the mandible, teeth and gingiva of the mandible, lower lip, fleshy part of the cheek, part of the auricle, the external meatus and auricle, tympanic membrane, part of the temple, and the mucosa of the presulcal part of the tongue and floor of the oral cavity
- The nerve also has a small motor root and a larger sensory root, with components for sensory and branchial motor functions
- The nerve exits the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale and courses through the infratemporal fossa
- The nerve passes between the tensor veli palatini and lateral pterygoid muscles and gives off a meningeal branch and a nerve to the medial pterygoid
- The nerve divides into small anterior and large posterior trunks, with the anterior trunk branching to the 4 main muscles of mastication and the buccal branch, and the posterior trunk branching to 3 sensory branches and a motor branch to the auriculotemporal, lingual, inferior alveolar, and motor to the mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric muscles.
