A case in which intermittent and spontaneous periodontal breakdown and repair has occurred on two different occasions in the same interproximal site over a period of 18 years is described. The possible etiology of the lesions is discussed in terms of current concepts of localized bacterial selectivity. Also reviewed is the potential for repair in two‐walled infrabony defects.
