Q

Some gingiva posterior to the mental foramen is innervated by which nerve?

A

Buccal nerve

20
Q

What nerve is the largest branch of the posterior trunk of the mandibular nerve?

A

Lingual Nerve

21
Q

Where does the lingual nerve emerge between?

A
22
Q

After leaving the inferior alveolar merve where does the lingual nerve join?

A

Chorda Tympani

23
Q

What is the route for the lingual nerve entering the mouth?

A

Runs downwards across the medial pterygoid and enters the mouth by passing under the lower border of the inferior constrictor of the pharynx and contacts the mandible behing the third molar

24
Q

Where else does the lingual nerve provide sensation for?

A

Anterior 2/3 of the tongue, floor of the mouth and the lingual aspect of the mandilbe

25
Q

In order to carry out exodontia or minor oral surgery on the mandibular teeth which nerves must be anaesthetised?

A

Inferior alveolar nerve

Mental nerve

Long buccal nerve

Lingual nerve

26
Q

What is the angle that a buccal infiltration should be injected?

A

45 degrees

27
Q

Which fibres does the maxillary nerve carry?

A

Sensory

28
Q

Through what does the maxillary nerve enter the pterygopalatine fossa?

A

Foramen Rotundum

29
Q

Once the maxillary nerve has passed through the foramen rotundum what does it give off branches to?

A

Sphenopalatine ganglion

30
Q

What are the three nerves that pass through the sphenopalatine ganglion?

A

Nasopalatine nerve

Greater palatine

Lesser palatine

31
Q

Once it has branched off the spenopalatine nerve, where does the nasopalatine nerve pass along, through which canal and emerges where?

A

Passes along the nasal septum and through the incisive canal and emerges at the incisive foramen on the anterior aspect of the hard palate

32
Q

Once the greater and lesser palatine nerves have passed through the sphenopalatine ganglion where does it travel to?

A

Travels inferiorly through the greater and lesser palatine foramen

33
Q

Where is the greater and lesser palatine foramen located in the mouth?

A

The greater palatine foramen is located medial to the distal surface of the upper second molar

The lesser palatine foramen is more posterior

34
Q

Which teeth does the greater palatine nerve supply?

A

Molar to canine

35
Q

What tissues does the lesser palatine nerve supply?

A

Soft palate and Uvula

36
Q

After the sphenopalatine branches the nerve gives off 2 more braches which are…?

A

Zygomatic and Posterior superior alveolar nerve

37
Q

What does the zygomatic nerve divide into and what does it supply?

A

Temporal and facial branches and supplies some of the skin of the temple and the skin overlying the zygomatic bone

38
Q

After branching off the sphenopalatine nerve the posterior superior alveolar nerve it passes inferiorly along the posterior surface of the maxilla and enters the bone 1cm superior and posterior to which tooth?

A

Third molar

39
Q

What does the posterior superior alveolar nerve supply and what is the exception?

A

Pulp of all molar teeth apart from the mesio-buccal pulp of the first molar which is most likely to be supplied by the middle superior alveolar nerve

40
Q

After the last branch of the maxillary nerve is given off where does it travel to?

A

Passes anteriorly through the inferior orbital fissure into the orbital cavity

41
Q

Once the maxillary nerve has entered the infra-orbital canal which nerve does it give off? But what is the exception?

A

Middle superior alveolar nerve

However this nerve is not present in 50% of people

42
Q

The middle superior alveolar nerve travels travels down the lateral wal of the maxillary antrum to supply the pulps of which teeth?

A

Upper premolars and mesio-buccal pulp of the first molar

43
Q

The maxillary nerve continues to travel after the middle superior alveolar nerve has brached off and what is this nerve now called?

A

Infra orbital nerve

44
Q

The anterior superior alveolar nerve travels along the roof of the maxillary antrum and decends within the anterior wall of the maxilla to supply which teeth?

A

Pulps of the upper incisors and canines

45
Q

Where does the terminal branch of the infra orbital nerve emerge frim and what does it supply?

A

It emerges from the infra orbital foramen and supplies the skin of the face between the eye and nostril and the full thickness of the upper lip on that side
