Dr. Chandan S N, Dr. Murali Mohan, Dr. S M Sharma, Dr. B Rajendra Prasad

Abstract :

In this article we present three cases of oral myiasis. In all the cases maggots were seen to be burrowing into the underlying tissues and relatively large number of maggots were present. The management included turpentine oil irrigation and removal of maggots manually in the two cases and an additional ivermectin therapy in the third case.
