Digestion takes a long time so your crown is lodged in upper digestive tract, usually it will stay soaked in stomach acid for 12 hrs before moving down towards it’s inevitable departure from bowels.
These objects pass often in 24 to 48hrs and cause no harm. But problems may arise when objects are stuck for long time , are sharp , magnetic or contain corrosive materials.
