Abstract
Sarcoidosis involving the facial bones is rare; however, it may be identified as mild changes on dental radiographs. Awareness of this pathology is important to ensure early referral. Dental structures (if affected) should be preserved where possible. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Awareness of the typical presentation of sarcoidosis, and the potential clinical signs, is relevant to dental practice.
