Root development occurs during the eruptive stage.Because the posteruptive stage continues until teeth are lost or death occurs,occlusal wear due to prolonged masticatory stress and wear is common.Mesial drift,a physiologic phenomenon,is inherent to teeth.Supraeruption,also called hyper eruption,occurs when an opposing tooth is lost and the remaining tooth "searches" for its antagonist by continuing to erupt.
