Temporary cement.

How long can teeth last with temporary cement?  Will it affect the outcome of the restoration?  What precautions shall we take to get off all the old temporary cement so they still fit properly with the permenant cement?  Does the temporary cement act just like regular cement?  Is it the same thickness?  He has been meticulously refining them (all 17 teeth) for months and months now with the tempoary cement (inbetween sending them back to the lab).  I am so afraid of the permenant cement that they still won't fit together properly (the occlusion) and that they will hurt and then what will I do except commit suicide?  I never thought my life would turn out this way.  I was suppose to feel better, not worse.  It seems as though no one can help me.
