Clinical Applic of the Blink Reflex with Stimulation of the Mental Nerve in Lesions of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve
Neurol 44:2356-2361, Jaaskelainen,S.K.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We evaluated the clinical usefulness of a new modification of the blink reflex(BR)test with electrical stimulation of the innervation area of the mental nerve(MN).The MN BR responses were often absent after violently traumatic lesions,whereas milder injuries commonly produced only latency prolongation of the reflex components.The MN BR is a useful objective method in the diagnosis of sensory loss in the distribution of the MN.
