Which nerve innervates the skin and mucosa of the cheeks and gingiva?
The skin and mucosa of the cheeks and gingiva are primarily innervated by the buccal branch of the mandibular nerve (V3), which is a division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). This branch provides sensory innervation to the buccal mucosa and the gingiva in the molar region. Additionally, the maxillary nerve (V2) contributes to the innervation of the upper gingiva and mucosa in the maxillary region.

The skin and mucosa of the cheeks and gingiva are primarily innervated by the buccal nerve, a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V3). Additionally, the mental nerve, also a branch of the mandibular nerve, supplies sensation to the gingiva and skin of the lower lip and chin. Together, these nerves provide sensory innervation to the areas of the cheeks and gingiva.
What are different types of oral mucosa?
The three main types of oral mucosa are masticatory mucosa (found on the gingiva and hard palate, suited for chewing), lining mucosa (on the cheeks, lips, and floor of the mouth, for flexibility), and specialized mucosa (on the dorsum of the tongue, with unique features for taste sensation).
What is a buccal mucosa?
Buccal mucosa is the mucosa lining the inside of the cheeks, and lips. Although the mucosa lining the inside of the lips is sometimes referred to labial mucosa, but it essentially just a continuation of the buccal mucosa. It is composed of stratified non-keritinised epithelium.This type of epithelliem in the oral cavity is also termed 'lining mucosa'. As apposed to 'masticatory mucosa' which covers the hard palate, attached gingiva, and dorsal surface of the tongue. There is also 'specialized mucosa' which is only found on the dorsal surface f the tongue.
