The present case series suggest that apical surgery is a valid treatment option for apical periodontitis in patients on HDAR, where orthograde endodontic retreatment is not possible. None of the patients developed medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Further studies in larger study groups and with longer follow-up periods are needed. The regional scientific ethical committee provided a document exemption, registration date 20 November 2013, and the local data protection agency approved handling of the recorded data (No. 2012-41-0045), registration date 11 January 2012.
