Why is there discoloration under temporary crowns? (photo)

February 19, 2016
Asked By:emirdzas in Dallas, TX

I am having crowns placed and 2 weeks ago they placed the temporary ones. After 2 days they started turning black. They replaced the temporary crowns today after polishing and using bleaching trays to remove it. What is the cause of this and how can I prevent it from happening again and will this affect the placement of the permanent ones in one week?
