Is it accepted practice for a temporary dental crown to be made of filling material?

Temporary or provisional crowns can be made of lots of things, including filling material. By its definition, the temporary crown is designed to only preserve the prep and maintain the space until the permanent crown is ready to be placed. This should be only a fews days to a few weeks. As long as the temporary crown lasts intact until the permanent crown is placed, what it is made of is not all that important.

Can you fill in your own cavity or do they sell the one that your cavity filling is lost then you can go buy another filling?
Some pharmacies sell a temporary filling material that may relieve some discomfort until you can see a dentist. It is only temporary, and it does nothing to stop decay or infection. If you do not see a dentist soon, you run the risk of needing a root canal or even possibly losing the tooth.

If you had a root canal done 11 months ago with only a temporary filling and you now have braces can you still have the root canal finished?
usually. The braces will not effect the root canal therapy, which should be completed ASAP. Temporary fillings are just that - temporary. They can break down and begin to leak after a certain amount of time. The tooth likely will need a crown after the root canal is completed, in which case the braces may impede the process. At the very least, request a permanent material/filling is placed at the time of root canal completion.

Gold is useful as a filling material because it is malleable (easy to shape) and it does not corrode and therefore lasts a long time.
