ABSTRACT
Oral myiasis is a rare disease caused by larvae of certain dipteran flies. A case of oral myiasis caused by chrysomya bezziana, in the maxillary anterior region in a 20 year old mentally challenged female patient is reported. Manual removal of the larvae by topical application of turpentine oil, surgical debridement of the oral wound, followed by oral therapy with broad spectrum antibiotics were used to manage the patient.
