Description

The inferior dental branches supply the molar and premolar teeth. They correspond in number to the roots of those teeth; each nerve entering the orifice at the point of the root, and supplying the pulp of the tooth; above the alveolar nerve they form an inferior dental plexus. They also give some branches (Inferior gingival branches) to the buccal gingiva of the manidublar teeth (except the first molar tooth)
