The lingual canal, also known as the lingual nerve canal, is a small passage in the mandible (lower jawbone) that houses the lingual nerve, which is responsible for sensory innervation of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. It also contains blood vessels that supply this region. Understanding the anatomy of the lingual canal is important in dental procedures to avoid nerve damage and ensure patient safety.
