For a crown preparation on a mandibular second molar tooth, the Inferior alveolar nerve is primarily responsible for providing sensation to the mandibular teeth, including the molars. The Lingual nerve provides sensation to the lingual tissues of the mandible, which would need to be anesthetized for procedures on the mandibular teeth, especially for comfort and access. The Long buccal nerve supplies sensation to the buccal mucosa and periosteum of the mandibular molar region, which would also need to be anesthetized for a crown preparation on a mandibular second molar.
