Hi Chris,
Are you having any obvious problems with the upper extraction site.... any swelling, fevers, pain in that site or the surrounding areas? Has the site healed closed completely? Is there a large indentation where the tooth use to be? Has your dentist taken an x-ray of that area in the last year?
Most temporary crowns are not really considered bio compatible as they are all derived from some form of plastic or acrylic material. Also, one person could have an adverse affect to a particular material whereas someone else does not.
Do you think you are you having problems with a temporary crown?

Also a question regarding plastic tempory crowns ie the ones in the box set, are these biocompatible to use?
Thanks
