The mandibular nerve gives off the following branches:

Root

It is made up of two roots:

a large sensory root proceeding from the inferior angle of the trigeminal ganglion.
a small motor root (the motor part of the trigeminal), which passes beneath the ganglion, and unites with the sensory root, just after its exit through the foramen ovale.^[1]

Path

The two roots (sensory and motor) exit the middle cranial fossa through the foramen ovale. The two roots then combine.

Immediately in the infratemporal fossa beneath the base of the skull, the nerve gives off two branches from its medial side: a recurrent branch (nervus spinosus) and the nerve to the medial pterygoid muscle. The mandibular nerve then divides into two trunks, an anterior and a posterior.

Branche

Branches from the main trunk (except nervus spinosus) and the posterior division.

The mandibular nerve gives off the following branches:

From the main trunk of the nerve (before the division)
- muscular branches, which are efferent nerves for the medial pterygoid, tensor tympani, and tensor veli palatini muscles (motor)^[2]
- meningeal branch (a sensory nerve)
From the anterior division
- masseteric nerve (motor)
- deep temporal nerves, anterior and posterior (motor)
- buccal nerve (a sensory nerve)
- lateral pterygoid nerve (motor)

Branches from the posterior and anterior divisions (except lateral pterygoid nerve)

From the posterior division
- auriculotemporal nerve (a sensory nerve)
- lingual nerve (a sensory nerve)
- inferior alveolar nerve (a sensory nerve)
- motor branch to mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric muscles (mylohyoid nerve)

To remember the sensory branches of V3

B - Buccal n. (should be long buccal n. because buccal n. is the motor branch off of CN VII)
A - Auriculotemporal n.
I - Inferior Alveolar n.
L - Lingual n.

Supplie

The mandibular nerve innervates:^[1]

mylohyoid muscle and anterior belly of digastric muscle
mucous membrane of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue
the inside of the cheek (the buccal mucosa)
teeth and mucoperiosteum of mandibular teeth
skin of the temporal region
auricula
lower lip, and chin
Muscles of mastication
the muscles tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini

What is Dentistry?

Dentistry is the branch of the healing arts and sciences devoted to maintaining the health of the teeth, gums, and other hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity and adjacent structures. A dentist is a scientist and clinician dedicated to the highest standards of health through prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases and conditions.

The notion of dentists as those who merely “fill teeth” is out-of-date. Today, dentists are highly sophisticated health professionals who provide a wide range of care that contributes enormously to the quality of their patients’ day-to-day lives by preventing tooth decay, periodontal disease, malocclusion, and oral-facial anomalies. These and other oral disorders can cause significant pain, improper chewing or digestion, dry mouth, abnormal speech, and altered facial appearance.

Dentists are also instrumental in early detection of oral cancer and systemic conditions of the body that manifest themselves in the mouth, and they are at the forefront of a range of new developments in cosmetic and aesthetic practices.

The dental profession includes not only those who provide direct patient care, but those who teach, conduct research, and work in public and international health. All of these individuals are vital links in the health care delivery system, necessary to promote social and economic change as well as individual well-being.

Dentists understand the importance of and have made contributions to serving both disadvantaged populations and populations with limited access to dental care. It is not surprising, then, that the dental profession is very involved in influencing current health care reform efforts to ensure that the importance of oral health is understood and that oral health care is available to everyone.

Faculty members at dental medicine schools play a critical role in the field of study and shape the profession in the India and around the world. Dental school faculty are responsible for bringing new discoveries into the classroom; they stimulate students’ intellect and help determine the future of oral health care through dental medicine.
