From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The alveolar nerves or dental nerves include three superior alveolar nerves: the anterior superior alveolar nerve, middle superior alveolar nerve, and posterior superior alveolar nerve, and an inferior alveolar nerve.[1]
The superior alveolar nerves are all branches of the maxillary nerve, which is the second branch of the trigeminal nerve.
The inferior alveolar nerve, which is small in length, is a branch of the mandibular nerve, which is the third branch of the trigeminal nerve.[2]
