Odontogenic sinusitis affects a significant proportion of patients with paranasal sinus infections.

Nevertheless, no shared diagnostic criteria for this condition have yet been implemented and published studies differ in their definition of the disease.

The present systematic review of the literature was undertaken to characterize and analyze the different diagnostic criteria currently employed for odontogenic sinusitis.

Systematic searches for studies published between 2009 and 2019 were performed in Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases.

Search criteria were designed to identify all studies focusing, even partially, on odontogenic sinusitis.

Human original studies except single case reports published in the English, French, German, Spanish, or Italian language were included.

We removed duplicate abstracts and conducted full-text reads, data extraction, and quality assessment procedures (using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine levels of evidence and National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Study Quality Assessment Tools).

We reviewed articles for diagnostic criteria, both in terms of definition and etiology identification.
