Abstract

The knowledge of the neurovascular relationships of the infratemporal region is relevant in odontostomatology practice. In this article we present a case of atypical communication between the inferior alveolar nerve and lingual nerve associated with a change in relations with the maxillary artery, and discusses some clinical implications that these relations have on the development of the suplementary innervation and the anesthesia.
