Without an opposing tooth, called an antagonist, a tooth is likely to over-erupt in an attempt to "find" its antagonist. This same action typically occurs within 24 hours of a tooth becoming fractured. This action is referred to a tooth migration. Over-eruption beyond the occlusal plane in an attempt to meet an antagonist is called supra-eruption.
