Odontogenic infections are processes caused by tooth decay, endodontic infections, pericoronitis and periodontal diseases. In advanced cases, it can spread to important regions of the body. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the perception of university students from a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the highlands of Paraíba about the evolution of odontogency infections. The work in question refers to a cross-sectional study, of a descriptive and quantitative nature, which was carried out with university students enrolled at Faculdade Santa Maria, from all undergraduate courses (except Dentistry) and from all periods. It was carried out through a structured online questionnaire, applied through the Google Forms platform and composed of three stages. 143 university students of both sexes were interviewed, between the ages of 18 to 54 years old, most of them women (83.9%) and the most prevalent age comprises individuals between 18 to 30 years old (85%). Regarding knowledge about dental caries, 97.2% answered that they knew about the disease. When asked about understanding how to prevent cavities and gingivitis, 77.6% of students answered that they knew methods to prevent the onset of diseases. More than half of the students (55.9%) replied that they totally agreed that dental caries and an untreated canal could cause the formation of purulent content. The results suggest that students at Faculdade Santa Maria have good knowledge related to odontogenic infections and their problems. However, this knowledge is limited, thus showing that it must be deepened.
