Rationale: Complications arising from the extraction of an over-retained deciduous tooth root are an extremely rare event in a dental office, just like liver clots post-extraction of teeth.
Patient Concern: The patient reported to the department on the third post-operative day following extraction of a deciduous root stump, complaining of swelling with respect to the extraction site and inability to open his mouth completely.
Diagnosis: An unusual presentation of a 'currant blood clot' also commonly known as 'liver clot' was noted in the extraction site.
