Lingual Nerve - Injuries
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Lingual Nerve'A sensory branch of the MANDIBULAR NERVE, which is part of the trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve. The lingual nerve carries general afferent fibers from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, the floor of the mouth, and the mandibular gingivae.

Management of third molar-related nerve injuries: observe or treat?
30 May 2009 
Injury to branches of the trigeminal nerve is one of the possible complications associated with the removal of third molars. Fifty-two percent of patients referred to a university-based practice with trigeminal neurosensory complaints associated ... Read more...
Anatomical variations of the mandibular nerve and its branches correlated to clinical situations.
29 Apr 2009 AIM: The mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve is the largest of the three major divisions of the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve). In this way, many health professionals belonged to different fields are commonly evaluating patients ... Read more...
Intraoral removal of proximal submandibular stones--an alternative to sialadenectomy?
24 Apr 2009 Submandibular salivary stones account for most symptomatic sialoliths and most are treated by adenectomy. Transoral removal of proximal or hilar stones is an alternative approach that preserves the functioning gland. Between 1999 and 2006, 186 ... Read more...
