Abnormal Communications of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve with Anterior Division of the Mandibular Nerve and the Lingual Nerve – A Case Report.

Anomalous communications between the branches of posterior division of mandibular nerve are extensively reported due to their implication in various treatment procedures undertaken in the infratemporal region. We report an abnormal communication (CM1) between the anterior division of the mandibular...
