The aim of this study was to assess the rate and timing of possible supra-eruption of posterior teeth opposing resected segments in a select maxillofacial group of postsurgical patients. Methodology: Twenty patients were included. 16 underwent simultaneous segmental mandibular resections and iliac bone graft reconstructions. The remaining 4 had partial maxillary resections with primary closure of the defect. No patient received any prosthetic restoration. Clinical photographs and radiographs at the last follow-up examinations were compared by superimposition to those obtained initially (mean 6.9 years). Results: The results of this longitudinal retrospective study showed that not even slight supraeruption had occurred in any of the 16 patients. Conclusion: These fi ndings are discussed with regard to their possible cause and prosthodontic implications.

DO POSTERIOR TEETH SUPRA-ERUPT WHEN OPPOSITE RESECTED SEGMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN PROSTHETICALLY RESTORED?
