Nerves of the Oral Cavity 11-1-16 Flashcards
Cranial Nerve V is the
trigeminal nerve
Cranial nerve VII is the
facial nerve
Cranial nerve IX is the
glossopharyngeal nerve
Cranial nerve XII is the
hypoglossal nerve
What are the 3 divisions of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V)
- division I: ophthalmic (afferent)
- division II: maxillary (afferent)
- division III: mandibular (afferent and efferent)
The 2nd division (Maxillary nerve) of the trigeminal nerve has …. branches which are…
- 4
- Pterygopalatine
- Posterior Superior Alveolar
- Infraorbital
- Zygomatic
- Pterygopalatine
The first division (ophthalmic nerve) of the trigemincal nerve exits cranium via…
superior orbital fissure (sphenoid)
The ophthalmic nerve (division I of trigeminal/ CNV) innervates….(6)
- upper 1/3 of face
- eyeball
- superior eyelid
- nose
- maxillary sinus forehead
- scalp
The maxillary nerve (division II of trigeminal/CNV) exits via the foramen…. into the… space
- rotundum
- pterygopalatine
The nasopalatine branch of the pterygopalatine branch of the maxillary nerve (of CNV) enters palate through the… foramen
incisive (painful location for anes. for patient)
The posterior Superior Alveolar (PSA) branch of the pterygopalatine/maxillarydivisionII/CNV separates from the… nerve before its entry into the…. fissure
- maxillary
- infraorbital
The PSA enters the maxillae behind and above …. and innervates…
- 3rd molars through alveolar canals
- maxillary molars: pulps, ligaments, alveolar bone, facial gingiva
If you were extracting a maxillary 2nd molar, you would need to anesthetize … and …
PSA and greater palatine
The PSA innerv. the maxillary 3rd, 2nd and part of the 1st molar but NOT
mesiobuccal root on the 1st
The Infraorbital branch of CNV/maxillarydivisionII while in the … canal gives off… (which some patients do not have) which innervates premolar pulps and MB root of 1st molar and facial gingiva, bone and ligament.
- infraorbital
- middle superior alveolar
