The posterior superior alveolar nerve travels inferiorly on the infratemporal surface of the maxilla, entering the maxillary sinus and eventually terminating in sensory branches for the maxillary molars and their surrounding buccal gingiva, with the possible exception of the mesiobuccal root of the first molar.
The main areas of sensory innervation for the anterior superior alveolar nerve are the cuspid, and central and lateral incisors and the buccal gingiva in that area.
The inferior alveolar nerve, at the level of the conventional mandibular nerve block, is thinner than the core mandibular nerve, which is approximated in the Gow-Gates block.

The nerve is also at risk during the lingual osteotomy cut, when it may be crushed or damaged by the bur.
In initiating the split, the IAN is at risk when the osteotome is driven into the bone cut on the upper surface of the external oblique ridge.
In most cases the IAN is situated between 4 and 11 mm below the surface of the ridge, but in 5% of cases the distance may be from 1 to 4 mm (Mercier 1973).

An explanation for the predominance of injuries to lingual nerves over those to inferior alveolar nerves as a result of inferior alveolar nerve blocks may be due to the norves' fascicular pattern.
For the lingual nerve at the lingua the mean number of fascicles was three i (range, one to eight).
This study may explain the observation that when an inferior alveolar nerve block causes permanent nerve impairment, the lingual nerve is affected about 70 percent of the time and the inferior alveolar nerve is affected only 30 percent of the time.
