Multiple nerves innervate the oral cavity General sensory innervation predominantly by branches of the trigeminal nerve [V]:
Upper parts of the cavity, including the palate and the upper teeth, are innervated by branches of the maxillary nerve [V2]
Lower parts, including the teeth and oral part of the tongue, are innervated by branches of the mandibular nerve [V3]
Taste (special afferent-SA) from the oral part or anterior two-thirds of the tongue is carried by branches of the facial nerve [VII], which join and are distributed with branches of the trigeminal nerve [V]
![Page 6: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Parasympathetic fibers to the glands within the oral cavity are also carried by branches of the facial nerve [VII], which are distributed with branches of the trigeminal nerve [V].
Sympathetic fibers in the oral cavity ultimately come from spinal cord level T1, synapse in the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion, and are eventually distributed to the oral cavity along branches of the trigeminal nerve [V] or directly along blood vessels.

All muscles of the tongue are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve [XII], except the palatoglossus, which is innervated by vagus nerve [X].
![Page 10: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

All muscles of the soft palate are innervated by the vagus nerve [X] except for the tensor veli palatini, innervated by a branch from the mandibular nerve [V3].
The muscle (mylohyoid) that forms the floor of the oral cavity is also innervated by the mandibular nerve [V3].
![Page 12: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sensory InnervationInnervation of the tongue is complex and involves a number of nerves.Anterior two thirds: General sensory innervation carried by the lingual nerve (V3). The lingual nerve also carries parasympathetic and taste fibers from the oral part of the tongue that are part of [VII].
![Page 13: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Taste (SA) from the oral part of the tongue is carried into the central nervous system by the facial nerve [VII].
Special sensory (SA) fibers of the facial nerve [VII] leave the tongue and oral cavity as part of the lingual nerve.
The fibers then enter the chorda tympani nerve, which is a branch of the facial nerve [VII] that joins the lingual nerve in the infratemporal fossa.
![Page 14: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Posterior third: Taste (SA) and general sensation from the pharyngeal part of the tongue are carried by the glossopharyngeal nerve [IX].
![Page 15: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Posterior superior alveolar artery & inferior alveolar arterybranches of the maxillary artery, supply the maxillary and mandibular teeth, respectively. Alveolar veins with the same names & distribution accompany arteries.
Lymphatic vessels from the teeth and gingivae pass mainly to the submandibular lymph nodes, as well as into submental and deep cervical lymph nodes.
Vasculature of teeth
![Page 19: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Branches of the superior (CN V2) & inferior (CN V3) alveolar nerves give rise to dental plexuses that supply the
maxillary and mandibular teeth.
Innervation of teeth

20
The gingivae are supplied by multiple vessels; Inferior alveolar arteryLingual artery Anterior & posterior superior alveolar arteries
(branches of the infra-orbital and maxillary arteries, respectively) Nasopalatine & greater palatine arteries
Veins from the gingivae follow the arteries and ultimately drain into the facial vein or into pterygoid plexus of veins.
Vasculature of gingivae
![Page 21: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Like the teeth, the gingivae are innervated by nerves that ultimately originate from the trigeminal nerve [V]:
Gingiva associated with the upper teeth by branches of the maxillary nerve [V2]
Gingiva associated with the lower teeth by branches of the mandibular nerve [V3]

From an anatomical perspective, maxillary injections generally are believed to be not only more predictable than mandibular injections, but also more benign and associated with fewer complications. However, this is not necessarily true, particularly for block injections.
ANESTHESIA OF THE MAXILLARY TEETH
![Page 24: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Techniques of Maxillary Regional AnesthesiaThe techniques most commonly employed in maxillary anesthesia include • Supraperiosteal (local) infiltration• Periodontal ligament (intraligamentary) injection• Posterior superior alveolar nerve block• Middle superior alveolar nerve block• Anterior superior alveolar nerve block• Greater palatine nerve block• Nasopalatine nerve block• Local infiltration of the palate• Intrapulpal injection
Of less clinical application are the maxillary nerve block and intraseptal injection.
![Page 25: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Maxillary nerve block (V2 block) can be used to anesthetize maxillary teeth, alveolus, hard and soft tissue on the palate, gingiva, and skin of the lower eyelid, lateral aspect of nose, cheek, and upper lip skin and mucosa on side blocked.

POSTERIOR SUPERIOR ALVEOLAR (PSA) NERVE BLOCK
The PSA nerve block is used to anesthetize the pulpal tissue, corresponding alveolar bone, and buccal gingival tissue to the maxillary 1st, 2nd, and 3rd molars.
![Page 27: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
The area of insertion is the height of mucobuccal fold between 1st and 2nd nd molar.

![Page 28: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
MIDDLE SUPERIOR ALVEOLAR (MSA) NERVE BLOCK
Useful for procedures where the maxillary premolar teeth or the mesiobuccal root of the 1st molar require anesthesia.
Although not always present, it is useful if the PSA or ASA nerve blocks or supraperiosteal infiltration fails to achieve adequate anesthesia. Present in about 28% of the population.
The height of the mucobuccal fold above the maxillary 2nd premolar is the injection site.
![Page 29: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
The ASA nerve block is used to anesthetize the maxillary canine, lateral incisor, central incisor, alveolus, and buccal gingiva. The area of insertion is height of mucobuccal fold in area of lateral incisor and canine. The mucobuccal fold over the maxillary first premolar is another suggested site for injection.

ANTERIOR SUPERIOR ALVEOLAR (ASA) NERVE BLOCK
In adults, the infraorbital foramen lies significantly below the infraorbital rim (8 to 10 millimeters), a safe distance from the cavity of the orbit.
![Page 34: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Insert the needle over the first premolar toward the infraorbital foramen. The needle should be held parallel with the long axis of the tooth. Advance the needle toward the upper rim of the infraorbital foramen beneath the tip of the index.

36
The mucosa of the hard palate and the palatal gingiva are supplied by the nasopalatine and greater palatine nerves. The boundary between the areas innervated by the two nerves corresponds roughly to a line drawn between the maxillary canines; however, the two areas are not so sharply delineated as such animaginary line might suggest.
PALATAL INNERVATION
![Page 37: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
The nasopalatine nerve block can be used to anesthetize the soft and hard tissue of the maxillary anterior palate from canine to canine.
The area of insertion is immediately lateral to the incisive papilla into incisive foramen to completely anesthetize the central incisors
NASOPALATINE NERVE BLOCK
![Page 38: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
In the greater palatine canal technique, the area of insertion is greater palatine canal. The target area is the maxillary nerve in the pterygopalatine fossa.
The dentist performs a greater palatine block and waits 3 3-5 mins.Then h/she inserts needle in previous area and walks into greater palatine foramen.
GREATER PALATINE NERVE BLOCK
![Page 39: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
The foramen has been shown to lie 1.9 mm in front of the posterior border of the hard palate and 15 mm from the palatal midline. These measurements are useful for more easily locating the greater palatine foramen and enhancing the anesthetic injection technique in the posterior palate.
GREATER PALATINE NERVE BLOCK
![Page 40: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
GREATER PALATINE NERVE BLOCK
The greater palatine foramen can be located by on the palatal tissue approximately one centimeter medial to the junction of the 2nd and 3rd molar. While this is the usual position for the foramen, it may be located slightly anterior or posterior to this location.
![Page 41: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
The buccal cortical plate of the mandible most often is sufficiently dense to preclude effective infiltration anesthesia in its vicinity. The infiltration techniques do not work in the adult mandible due to the dense cortical bone.Therefore, the dentist must rely on block anesthesia for effectively anesthetizing mandibular teeth.
ANESTHESIA OF THE MANDIBULAR TEETH
![Page 42: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Nerve blocks are utilized to anesthetize the inferior alveolar, lingual, and buccal nerves.
It provides anesthesia to the pulpal, alveolar, lingual and buccal gingival tissue, and skin of lower lip and medial aspect of chin on side injected.

![Page 43: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
The most common approach to inferior alveolar anesthesia is the traditional Halstead method.
INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE BLOCK
Inferior alveolar nerve is approached in the pterygomandibular space, called the infratemporal fossa, via an intraoral route located just before the nerve enters the mandibular foramen.
![Page 44: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
The area of insertion is the mucous membrane on the medial border of the mandibular ramus at the intersection of a horizontal line (height of injection) and vertical line (anteroposterior plane).

45
As the target site for the deposition of anesthetic solution in the conventional inferior alveolar block injection, the mandibular foramen is an essential structure to accurately locate.
The technique involves blocking the inferior alveolar nerve prior to entry into the mandibular lingula on the medial aspect of the mandibular ramus.

Traditionally, the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), also known as the “standard mandibular nerve block” or the “Halsted block,” has a success rate of only 80 to 85 percent, with reports of even lower rates.
Investigators have described other techniques as alternatives to the traditional approach, of which the Gow-Gates mandibular nerve block and Akinosi-Vazirani closed-mouth mandibular nerve block techniques have proven to be reliable.
Dentists who know how to perform all three techniques increase their probability of providing successful mandibular anesthesia in any patient.
![Page 49: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
The primary goal of each of the three mandibular nerve blocks is anesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve, which innervates the pulps of the mandibular teeth on the same side of the mouth, as well as the buccal periodontium anterior to the mental foramen.
For each of the three techniques, this goal is accomplished by depositing anesthetic within the pterygomandibular space.
![Page 50: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Described by Gow-Gates in 1973.
The objective of the technique To place the needle tip and administer the local anesthetic at the neck of the condyle. This position is in proximity to the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve after it exits the foramen ovale.
GOW-GATES MANDIBULAR NERVE BLOCK
![Page 51: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Described as an alternative to the IANB in 1977.
What makes this technique unique is that the patient’s mouth is closed.
The objective is to place the needle tip between the ramus and the medial pterygoid muscle.
AKINOSI-VAZIRANI CLOSED-MOUTH MANDIBULAR NERVE BLOCK
![Page 52: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Branches of the lingual nerve supply the lingual gingiva and adjacent mucosa of the mandible.
The lingual nerve courses through the infratemporal fossa anterior to the inferior alveolar nerve.
LINGUAL NERVE BLOCK
![Page 53: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Traditionally, the buccal nerve block injection is delivered to the anterior ramus of the mandible at the level of the mandibular molar occlusal plane in the vicinity of the retromolar fossa.
BUCCAL NERVE BLOCK
![Page 54: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
The area of injection mucobuccal fold at or anterior to the mental foramen. This lies between the mandibular premolars.
MENTAL NERVE BLOCK
The position of this foramen varies greatly, making it difficult to predictably locate this nerve using intraoral landmarks in a patient with an intact dentition.
Penetrate the mucous membrane at the injection site, at the canine or first premolar, directing the syringe backward and downward transversally toward the mental foramen. Advance the needle until the foramen is reached.

Most local anaesthesia 'failures' occur with IAN blocks.
Injuries to inferior alveolar and lingual nerves are caused by local analgesia block injections and have an estimated injury incidence of between 1:26,762 to 1/800,000.
The nerve that is usually damaged during inferior alveolar nerve block injections is the lingual nerve. which accounts for 70% of nerve injuries.

Nerve to block Technique / Area of insertion
Posterior Superior Alveolar
The height of the mucobuccal fold over the maxilalry 2nd molar
Middle Superior Alveolar The height of the mucobuccal fold above the maxillary 2nd premolar
Anterior Superior Alveolar The height of the mucobuccal fold above the maxillary 1st premolar
Nasopalatine The area immediately lateral to the incisive papilla into incisive foramen
Greater Palatine 1 cm. medial to the junction of the 2nd and 3rd molar
Inferior Alveolar With the mouth open maximally, identify the coronoid notch and the pterygomandibular raphae. Three quarters of the anteroposterior distance between these two landmarks, and approximately six to ten millimeters above the occlusal plane is the injection site.
Buccal The dentist should identify the most distal molar tooth on the side to be treated. The tissue just distal and buccal to the last molar tooth is the target area for injection.
Mental The mucobuccal fold at or anterior to the mental foramen which lies between the mandibular premolars

A description of the organization of the lymphatic system in the neck becomes a summary of the lymphatic system in the head and neck.
It is impossible to separate the two regions.
The components of this system: Superficial nodes around the head Superficial cervical nodes along the external jugular vein Deep cervical nodes forming a chain along the internal jugular vein

The basic pattern of drainage is for superficial lymphatic vessels to drain to the superficial nodes.
Some of these drain to the superficial cervical nodes on their way to the deep cervical nodes and others drain directly to the deep cervical nodes.
Most lymph from the six to eight lymph nodes then drains into the supraclavicular group of nodes, which accompany the cervicodorsal trunk.
![Page 104: I NNERVATION & VASCULARIZATION OF THE ORAL REGION](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5681672c550346895ddbcab4/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)

Lymphatic flow from these superficial lymph nodes passes in several directions:
Drainage from the occipital and mastoid nodes passes to superficial cervical nodes along the external jugular vein
Drainage from the pre-auricular and parotid nodes, the submandibular nodes, and the submental nodes passes to deep cervical nodes.

A collection of lymph nodes along the external jugular vein on the superficial surface of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Primarily receive lymphatic drainage from the posterior and posterolateral regions of the scalp through the occipital & mastoid nodes.They drain lymph from the skin over the angle of the jaw, the skin over the lower part of the parotid gland, and the lobe of the ear.
Send lymphatic vessels in the direction of the deep cervical nodes.

Form a vertical chain along the course of the internal jugular vein within the carotid sheath , mostly under cover of the sternocleidomasteoid muscle.
Receive lymph from all the groups of regional nodes.
Divided into upper and lower groups where the intermediate tendon of the omohyoid muscle crosses the common carotid artery and the internal jugular vein.
Deep cervical lymph nodes

Most superior node in the upper deep cervical group
Located below and behind the angle of the jaw
This large node is where the posterior belly of the digastric muscle crosses the internal jugular vein.
Mainly concerned with drainage of the tonsil and the tongue. Drains oral caviy, oropharynx, nasopharynx, larynx and parotid.
Jugulodigastric node

The deep cervical nodes eventually receive all lymphatic drainage from the head and neck either directly or through regional groups of nodes. From the deep cervical nodes, lymphatic vessels form the right and left jugular trunks, which empty into the right lymphatic duct on the right side or the thoracic duct on the left side.
