Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. Nothing to be panic, do not get scared, nothing will happen. The temporary crown can be replaced with either permanent or temporary crown again till you get the permanent crown. But you need to take certain precautions like, you should not bite on hard things from that tooth, since the tooth will be brittle, there are chances of that tooth getting fractured. So til you consult your dentist be careful. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
Temporary crown is usually placed to maintain the tooth comfort ,avoid breakage and maintain the adjoining teeth in position.If a temporary crown comes out prematurely and the permanent crown is not placed early the adjacent teeth can shift and the gums can begin to grow over the prepared edges of the shaped tooth.
Since you have already lost the crown and your dentist is not available for two to three days ,make sure you avoid biting hard and applying more pressure in that area which may cause the breakage of the tooth. Visit the dentist office once opened immediately and have it redone or have the permanent crown fixed.
Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
