A fly larva's invasion in human or animal tissues and organs is known as myiasis. An uncommon pathology known as oral myiasis is linked to a medical condition, poor dental hygiene, mouth breathing, and lip weakness. Diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, mental retardation/neurological impairments, leprosy, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, psychiatric problem, and senility with open wounds are among the medical factors that increase the risk of developing the disease. We present a case of oral myiasis of the maxillary anterior region of the palate, in a 63-year-old female with cerebral palsy and poor oral hygiene. . The existence of larvae served as the basis for the diagnosis. Oral medication was used in conjunction with the mechanical removal of larvae with a hemostat. This article emphasizes the value of oral healthcare for people with specific requirements while also discussing the therapeutic potential of maggots.
