Q

where does the mental nerve innervate? what type of innervation does this nerve supply?

A

sensory innervation to the lower lip & buccal gingivae of anterior teeth (premolar onwards)

20
Q

what nerve does the mental nerve arise from?

A

a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve (posterior trunk)

21
Q

where does the mental nerve emerge?

A

the mental foramen

22
Q

what disorder may cause terrible pain to arise in CNV3? (occasionally in CNV2 as well)

A

trigeminal neuralgia

23
Q

what Trunk of the Mandibular Division supplies general sensory innervation to the oral cavity?

A

posterior trunk

24
Q

what nerve supplies sensory innervation to the cheek & posterior buccal gums?

A

buccal nerve

25
Q

what nerve supplies the lower posterior teeth? (from molars up to second premolar)

A

main trunk of inferior alveolar nerve

26
Q

what nerve supplies the lower anterior teeth? (1st premolar to central incisor)

A

incisive branch of inferior alveolar nerve

27
Q

what nerve supplies the skin of chin & lower lip, as well as anterior buccal gingivae?

A

mental nerve branch of the inferior alveolar nerve

28
Q

what is interesting about the inferior alveolar nerves innervation?

A

before entering the mandibular foramen, the inferior alveolar nerve fibres are MIXED (both sensory and motor)

29
Q

what occurs before the mixed inferior alveolar nerve enters the mandibular foramen?

A

a branch splits off, this is the nerve to mylohyoid (MOTOR FIBRES)

30
Q

when the inferior alveolar nerve enters the mandibular division, how does its innervation change?

A

only SENSORY innervation once it enters the spongy bone (through mandibular foramen)

31
Q

what does the nerve to mylohyoid supply?

A

motor innervation to the mylohyoid & anterior belly of digastric

32
Q

what nerve supplies the lingual gingivae?

A

lingual nerve

33
Q

what is meant by general sensation?

A
  • pressure
  • temperature
  • pain
    etc.
34
Q

what is meant by special sensation in relation to oral cavity?

A

taste

35
Q

what does the lingual nerve innervate? what type of innervation is this?

A

provides general sensory sensation to the anterior 2/3rd of the tongue

36
Q

what nerve supplies special sensation to the anterior 2/3rds of tongue?

A

CNVII (7) facial nerve

37
Q

what nerve innervates the muscles of mastication?

A

CNV3 motor roots

38
Q

what are the different muscles of mastication?

A
  • lateral pterygoid muscle
  • medial pterygoid muscle
  • masseter muscle
  • temporalis muscle
39
Q

what other muscles (aside from muscles of mastication) does CNV3 supply?

A
  • tensor tympani (middle ear)
  • tensor palati
  • mylohyoid
  • anterior belly of digastric
40
Q

what is the jaw jerk reflex?

A
  • involves sensory information being passed through the trigeminal nerve into the mesencephalic nucleus (of the trigeminal nerve) which deals with proprioception
  • it then connects to the motor nucleus of the trigeminal of the pons
  • info sent to muscles
41
Q

what is the skin over the angle of the mandible supplied by?

A

the cervical plexus of the great auricular nerve (cranial nerve 2 & 3)

42
Q

what is shingles?

A

reactivation of varicella zoster virus in the trigeminal ganglion

43
Q

what are the clinical symptoms of shingles/

A
  • erythematous, vesticular, crusting rash

- burning sensation

44
Q

what is Hutchinson’s sign?

A

cutaneous involvement of the tip of the nose (external nasal branch of nasociliary nerve)

45
Q

what does a positive Hutchinson’s sign increase the chance of?

A

the likelihood of ocular complications

  • conjunctivitis
  • keratitis (cornea)
  • uveitis
