Abstract
The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve, is a major component of the neurovascular bundle along with the inferior alveolar artery and vein. In rats, when exposed using an external oral approach while remaining intact, it can serve as an important tool to study the different effects of neuromediators and assess the role of different groups of nerve fibers. This paper describes a new technique to expose this nerve giving some experimental results to support its usefulness.
