The anterior superior alveolar nerve can be affected by trauma to the maxilla during dental procedures, dental implants, or maxillofacial surgery. It can also be damaged by infections, cysts, or tumors in the maxillary region.
The maxillary teeth are supplied by the following branches of the Maxillary nerve, which is itself a branch of the Trigeminal nerve:-Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve: Upper incisors and caninesMiddle Superior Alveolar Nerve: Upper premolarsPosterior Superior Alveolar Nerve: Upper molar, and also upper premolars in the absence of the Middle SAN.
The posterior superior alveolar nerve block is usually performed in the region of the maxillary molars, where the nerve innervates. The block effectively numbs the nerve, preventing transmission of pain signals to the brain, which is why subjective symptoms are typically not felt during the procedure.
The inferior alveolar nerve travels through the mandibular canal in the mandible, providing sensory innervation to the lower teeth and surrounding tissues. It branches off from the mandibular nerve, a division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). As it descends, it gives off the mylohyoid nerve and continues into the mandibular foramen, where it enters the bone to supply the molars and premolars. The nerve exits the mandible through the mental foramen as the mental nerve, innervating the chin and lower lip.
the Chorda Tympani nerve ( a branch of the facial nerve VII) which joins the lingual nerve medial to the lateral pterygoid muscle.
The most important cranial nerve that carries anterior parasympathetic fibers is the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). It innervates many organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities, playing a crucial role in regulating many essential bodily functions, including digestion, heart rate, and respiratory rate.
The maxillary teeth are supplied by the following branches of the Maxillary nerve, which is itself a branch of the Trigeminal nerve:-Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve: Upper incisors and caninesMiddle Superior Alveolar Nerve: Upper premolarsPosterior Superior Alveolar Nerve: Upper molar, and also upper premolars in the absence of the Middle SAN.
The nerve that supplies the maxillary incisors and cuspid is the anterior superior alveolar nerve, which is a branch of the maxillary nerve (V2) of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). This nerve innervates the maxillary anterior teeth, providing sensory innervation for sensation, including pain and temperature.
On the top (maxilla) it is the superior alveolar nerve. On the bottom (mandible) it is the inferior alveolar nerve.
The posterior superior alveolar nerve block is usually performed in the region of the maxillary molars, where the nerve innervates. The block effectively numbs the nerve, preventing transmission of pain signals to the brain, which is why subjective symptoms are typically not felt during the procedure.
Tooth 4 typically refers to the maxillary first premolar. The maxillary nerve involved in this case is the superior alveolar nerve, specifically the posterior superior alveolar nerve, which supplies sensation to the maxillary molars and premolars. In some cases, the middle superior alveolar nerve may also contribute, depending on the individual anatomy. Therefore, irritation or inflammation affecting this nerve could be the cause of the toothache.
The maxillary premolar teeth are innervated by the maxillary branch (V2) of the trigeminal nerve. Specifically, the branches responsible for this innervation are the posterior superior alveolar nerve and the middle superior alveolar nerve, which provide sensory innervation to the maxillary premolars and surrounding tissues.
Your third molars, or wisdom teeth as they are often called, are supplied by the inferior alveolar nerve (lower thirds) and the posterior superior alveolar nerve (upper thirds), which are branches of the Trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve.
The first molar is usually innervated by two alveolar nerves: the superior alveolar nerves from the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve.
The muscle affected during an inferior alveolar nerve block is the temporalis muscle.
Both supply to the scrotum in males, but the genitofemoral supplies to the anterior surface of the thigh while the illoinguinal nerve supplies the superior medial aspect of thigh.
deep peroneal nerve supplies the tibialis anterior muscle
The mandibular nerve, which is the third division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), has three main branches: the anterior trunk, the posterior trunk, and the auriculotemporal nerve. The anterior trunk primarily supplies motor innervation to the muscles of mastication and sensory innervation to the buccal region. The posterior trunk provides sensory innervation to the lower jaw, teeth, and tongue through branches such as the inferior alveolar nerve and the lingual nerve. These branches play vital roles in both sensory and motor functions in the lower face and jaw.
