Cervical cutaneous nerves of the CP carry the sensation from the antero\u2010lateral cervical skin. It is clinically relevant to identify the cervical cutaneous nerve distribution and the nerve point using superficial landmarks but published studies describing the emerging patterns and cervical cutaneous nerve branch distributions in the mandible are rare. The overlap between the cervical and trigeminal and facial nerve distributions and anastomoses is highly variable. The objective of this study was to characterize the distribution of the SCP nerves in the different parts of the mandible. Two hundred and fifty fresh and formalin\u2010fixed human cadaver heads were microdissected to observe the distribution of the transverse cervical (TCN) and great auricular (GAN) nerves. Two main groups (G1 and G2) based on the emergence of the TCN and GAN behind the posterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and three types (T1, T2, and T3) based on their distribution in the different mandibular parts were observed. Statistical analysis showed that parameters related to the mandibular side (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.307), gender (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.218), and group (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.111) did not influence the facial distribution of these nerves. The only parameter influencing the distribution was the type of nerve (GAN and TCN) (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). In the face, the SCP reached the mandible in 97% of cases, its distribution and extent were subject\u2010dependent. These results confirmed that the SCP could supply accessory innervation to the mandible through the TCN. Clin.
