How Long Can I Use Temp Crown on my Back Tooth?

The tooth cracked while I was abroad an my insurance company said that I should not get the permanent crown abroad but rather wait 2.5 months with the temporary crown. Is this sounds reasonable? Is it possible to use temp crown for this period?

I would have the root tips extracted as soon as possible to help avoid future problems.  Upon extraction it would be wise for  you to have some bone graft material placed in preparation for a dental implant placement in the future.
