ABSTRACT Introduction: odontogenic infection is that which has its origin in the structures that form the tooth and the periodontium, and which by extension will affect the maxillary or mandibular bone in its periapical region. This type of infection is usually superficial, localized and limited, but on some occasions a secondary dissemination of the odontogenic infection to other anatomical regions can be observed. Objective: to determine the risk factors for the instauration of odontogenic infections. Methods: a systematic literature review was carried out at the Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes between December 2022 and April 2023 on the risk factors for the dissemination of odontogenic infections. Articles in English, Spanish and Portuguese published in PubMed, SciELO and LILACS databases were studied. Development: Of the 512 articles recovered, eight were identified after the screening process, which studied the risk factors for the spread of odontogenic infections. Most belonged to the Journal of Applied Oral Science and 100 % were descriptive studies. Conclusions: Obesity, immunosuppression and diabetes mellitus have a direct influence on the aggravation of odontogenic infections. On the other hand, factors such as oral hygiene, diet, tobacco and drug use are associated with the spread of odontogenic infections.
