The lingual nerve provides sensory innervation to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, conveying touch, temperature, and pain. It travels from the mandibular nerve branch of the trigeminal nerve, passing near the submandibular duct and floor of mouth. Understanding its course is critical in oral surgery, dental procedures, and nerve injury assessment. Accurate knowledge helps prevent iatrogenic injury during extraction, implant placement, or anesthetic administration while preserving taste, tactile sensation, and tongue function.
