“…59 In the more infrequent case where a vascular structure such as the maxillary artery is trapped between branches of the mandibular nerve, frequent and unexplained hematoma formation during anesthetic procedures may be indicative of vascular impingement. 60 In such situations, diagnostic work-ups with magnetic resonance imaging or CT imaging may be required to accurately identify and manage the condition. If anatomical variations manifest as neuralgias, appropriate follow-up and referrals will be required to manage the patient's specific complaint.…”

A sound knowledge of anatomical variations that could be encountered during surgical procedures is helpful in avoiding surgical complications. The current article details anomalous morphology of inferior alveolar nerves encountered during routine dissection of the craniofacial region in the Gross Anatomy laboratory. We also report variations of the lingual nerves, associated with the inferior alveolar nerves. The variations were documented and a thorough review of literature was carried out. We focus on the variations themselves, and the clinical implications that these variations present. Thorough understanding of variant anatomy of the lingual and inferior alveolar nerves may determine the success of procedural anesthesia, the etiology of pathologic processes, and the avoidance of surgical misadventure.

“…Taking into account the intracranial course, these 2 branches do not mix with each other. Fibre exchange occurs most probably at the level of and just below the oval foramen [6,27,60]. At the start, the motor branch lies medially to the sensory one, next moves anteriorly, and lastly laterally.…”

The reference lists of all the relevant studies and existing reviews were screened for additional relevant publications. Basing on relevant manuscripts, this short review about the anatomy, embryology and anthropology of the mandible and the mandibular foramen was written. (Folia Morphol 2013; 71, 4: 285-292)

“…7 The routine use of this palatal injection is based on the anatomical description of the sensory innervation of the palate, hence for the removal of maxillary third molars conventional teaching has recommended the blocking of both the posterior superior alveolar nerve and the greater palatine nerve 2 . The administration of a separate palatal injection may be avoided when the greater palatine nerve or maxillary nerve is blocked in the pterygopalatine fossa, however potential morbidity and technical difficulty have prevented the routine acceptance of such techniques 3,14 . Malamed suggests a regime of 0.45 mL of local anaesthetic solution to the palate as a greater palatine nerve block or infiltration for the removal of maxillary third molars 10 .…”
