The greater palatine nerve is the anterior branch of the
palatine nerve; it runs in the inferior area of the hard palate
and innervates the palatal gingiva and the hard palate. The
palatine nerve is distributed to the roof of the mouth, soft
palate, tonsil, and lining membrane of the nasal cavity. Most of
its fibres derive from the sphenopalatine branch of the
maxillary nerve. In older textbooks, it is usually categorized
as anterior, middle, and posterior palatine nerve. More recent
textbooks simplify the distribution into the greater palatine
nerve and the lesser palatine nerve.
Variations of the location of greater palatine foramen have
been reported.
