Though periodontal surgery is being a common routine procedure, occurrence of post-surgical hemorrhage is relatively uncommon because, it is generally self-limiting due to the primary closure of the soft tissues following surgical procedures. Formation of liver clot is a rare instance. Hence it is important for a clinician to be proficient and have thorough knowledge of probable etiology and management of such unusual complications.
