Temporary Cement for Permanent Crown, is That Standard Practice of Care?

wyc
I have had temporary cement for my permanent crown for the past 4 months. When I went back to my dentist to have the permanent cement put in, her and the dental assistant both independently told me that most patients have a misunderstanding that temporary cement is not meant to last. They recommended that I leave in the temporary cement, which can supposedly last for years?? Is this standard practice of care or should I insist on having the permanent cement done?
