Objective: The aim of this report was to describe challenging cases of modern endodontic microsurgery in teeth with persistent periodontitis following previous endodontic treatment. Methods: Four challenging cases of modern endodontic microsurgery were evaluated. Results: Healing has occurred at 6 and 12-month review appointments. Conclusion: The removal of the contamination and satisfactory sealing of the root canal system were paramount for the success observed in these cases. Modern microsurgery protocol with the use of a magnified view, ultrasonic tips and biocompatible materials are an important component of endodontic surgery, improving the success when compared to traditional technique
