broke my crown! HELP!

i went to the dentist on wednesday, they were supposed to put in the permanent crown but it came back wrong from the lab so they had to send it back. they re cemented the old temp crown  back in . last night i was eating and heard a LOUD crunch and part of the crown came out , for the dental smart people it was the lingual side, from the mesial to the distal..... so what do i do now?.... its a holiday weekend and cant get the dentist to get one fixed. gotta wait 3 more days till they open.... i should know this being that im in dental school. but im havent got to this chapter yet . lol.... can i just leave it like this?... will it be ok?.... what do i do now?
