Objectives: to determine the prevalence of pediatric patients who presented infection pictures of odontogenic origin, who were treated at the "Sor Teresa Huarte Tama" Children's Hospital during the period from July 2012 to July 2022. Material and methods: a study was carried out. descriptive, retrospective cross-sectional study. With a population of 118,651 pediatric patients and a sample of 1,002. Results: the prevalence of odontogenic infections was high in 2019 (18.8%). The most affected ages were 3-year-old patients (18.4%), followed by 4-year-old patients (17.6%). The male gender was the most affected with 58.6%. Regarding diagnosis, the most prevalent pathology was periapical abscess with fistula 36.5% and the least frequent were Ludwig's angina 1.1% and osteomyelitis 0.3%. There was a higher prevalence of patients who were not hospitalized for odontogenic infection 77.6%. 92.8% of the patients came from the same city of Sucre. Conclusions: it is concluded that infections of odontogenic origin have a high prevalence in 2019, affecting more males, and the most affected ages being 3 and 4 years.
