| Abstract: | Oral myiasis is a rare condition caused by the invasion of tissues by larvae of flies. A case of gingival myiasis is presented in a 12-year-old boy with learning disability. The patient was unaware of the lesion, although it produced a swelling partially covering the teeth. The lesion was treated with ether, which forced the larvae out, and irrigated with warm saline solution. Follow-up examination revealed complete subsidence and healing of the lesion. |
