Reactionary haemorrhage associated with periodontal flap surgery is an unusual finding. Periodontal flap surgery is a common treatment modality used to allow the exposure and correction of periodontal defects for the long-term maintenance of periodontal health. Though being a routine procedure, significant post-surgical haemorrhage is very uncommon due to the primary closure of the soft tissues following surgeries. Here is a case of 44-year-old systemically healthy female patient reported with an unusual condition of the formation of a "liver clot" or "currant jelly clot" following periodontal flap surgery.
