Do the antennae grow back during a molt?

So I noticed my latest E is missing half of one of his antennae. He's still got one fully functional and long one ,and he's still got his 2 smaller antennules. But do these parts grow back all the time, or only during a molt?

Thanks

I have one with 1/2 antennea who is down for a molt right now. I'll let you know what happens. Its been 3 weeks. I'm getting impatient.

My jumbos molted from December last year until 1st of April or so. Te one who had been missing part of his antenna has grown it longer but not long enough yet.
