Ten human inferior alveolar nerves were inspected microscopically to determine the fascicular characteristics. The mean number of fascicles was 18.3 per nerve, the mean fascicular cross-sectional area was 1.4 mm2, and the mean total nerve cross-sectional area was 4.6 mm2. The fascicular characteristics of the human inferior alveolar nerve as they relate to nerve repair and nerve grafting are discussed.
