Abstract

Objective: To analyze the importance of making a good diagnosis of sinusitis of odontogenic origin, by means of a search in different digital databases. Methodology: A bibliographic search was performed in the Pubmed and Scopus databases of studies published between 2017-2022 using keywords, in addition, the Boolean operator AND was used for the union between these descriptors and the inquiry questions were asked based on the abbreviation PICO. Results: 1270 studies were obtained between the two digital databases, of which 50 were selected after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Odontogenic sinusitis should be diagnosed by a multidisciplinary Odontologist-Otorhinolaryngologist. The most frequent odontogenic foci are periapical pathologies, previous surgeries, molars that are close to the floor of the maxillary sinus. Symptoms and radiographic studies such as CBCT should be taken into account.
