Resumo: Objective: analyze the sensitivity of X-rays, computed tomography (CT SCAN), and ultrasound exam (US) in the diagnosis of severe odontogenic infection, especially with deep cervical involvement. Study design: prospective cohort study of twenty consecutive patients (13M, 7F) with the diagnosis of deep-neck propagation of odontogenic infection from July 2020 to November 2020. Patients were included if they had symptoms and signs of odontogenic infection with deep-neck propagation, confirmed by clinical and immunological examination. All the patients enrolled in this study received both X-rays, CT SCAN, and the US for the assessment of the infection. Results: the X-Ray was the least sensitive exam for the diagnosis of collections, being enough to confirm the condition in only 20% of the patients. The CT SCAN promoted an increase in the sensitivity of the diagnosis for 95%, in addition to that, the US was considered sufficient in 100% of the patients. Conclusion: the US is a reliable option with sensitivity comparable to the Gold-Standard CT SCAN.
