Figure 1: Mandibular nerve supply to the muscles targeted by USGDN. The main trunk supplies medial pterygoid and meninges before division. Anterior division innervates the temporalis, lateral pterygoid, masseter, and buccal nerve (sensory). The posterior division supplies mylohyoid, anterior digastric belly (posterior belly by facial nerve), auriculotemporal, inferior alveolar, and lingual nerves (sensory).
