thanks for your query, i have gone through you question the purply black sore spot on the gums could be because of the melanin pigmentation or calculus (black in color) below the gums which s making the gums to appear like that...or the margin of the crown where the metal gets exposed below the gums can also appear like this...consult a oral physician and get examined completely....if required you need to get your teeth cleaned...or if the problem is with the crown you might have to replace the crown.. i hope my answer will help you....
