27. Inf dental nerve does not occupy a single canal,
but is plexiform in arrangement. It is also joined,
directly, or thru its plexiform branches, by rami
entering the bone as parts of neurovascular
bundles, derived from attached muscles such as
masseter. Such ‘accessory’ dental nerves ramify
particularly in a plane lateral to the molar teeth,
and their common occurrence accounts for the
incomplete abolition of pain by inf. dental nerve
block

28. The nerves which supply the incisor teeth form
an elaborate plexus on the external aspect of the
mandible after emerging from the mental
foramen and before they re-enter the bone.
