IA artery and vein

The incisive nerve will go next to what nerve within the mandibular canal before it exits the mandibular canal?

IA nerve

Infraorbital nerve (IO)

-Afferent nerve (upper lip, the medial part of the cheek, the lower eyelid, and the side of the nose) -IO nerve then passes into the infraorbital foramen of the maxilla

Herpes Zoster and Trigeminal Nerve: Clinical note

-Herpes zoster unilateral facial lesions occurring along the distribution of the maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve. -Intraoral lesions in the same patient illustrate the unilateral distribution of herpes zoster.

Posterior Superior Alveolar nerve (PSA)

-Joins the IO nerve (or maxillary nerve directly in some cases) in the pterygopalatine fossa -Other afferent nerve branches of the PSA nerve originate from dental branches in the pulp of each of the maxillary molar teeth that exit the teeth by way of the apical foramina. -These dental branches are then joined by interdental branches and interradicular branches from the periodontium, forming a dental plexus or a nerve network in the maxilla for the region.

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN): Clinical note

-No known cause but involves the afferent nerves of the trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve. -Usually involves the maxillary or mandibular nerve branches but NOT the ophthalmic branch -One theory is that this lesion is caused by pressure on the sensory root of the trigeminal ganglion by the area blood vessels. Clinically: -Patient feels excruciating short-term pain when facial trigger zones are touched or when speaking or masticating, setting off associated brief muscle spasms in the area. -Pain provokes brief muscle spasm of the facial muscles, thus producing the tic. • Because there are a large number of conditions that can cause facial pain, TN can be difficult to diagnose. • But finding the cause of the pain is important as the treatments for different types of pain may differ. • Treatment options include medicines such as anticonvulsants and tricyclic antidepressants, surgery, and complementary approaches. • Typical analgesics and opioids are not usually helpful in treating the sharp, recurring pain caused by TN.
