Minor chipping of the tooth or slight loss of the Cavit is no problem; but, if the tooth has a large hole, biting normally on the tooth before it is fully restored could cause a serious fracture that would jeopardize the life expectancy of the tooth. They need to be especially careful if the tooth is missing both the mesial and distal surfaces, because a fracture down the middle could ruin the tooth
