    Did the molar break because of decay? If there was a large cavity in it there could be an abscess. If you close the top off you could end up in +++pain. If the tooth isn't sensitive just keep the area clean, if it is, you could place a thin layer of the temporary material over it but get to the dentist ASAP.
