Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The abnormal growth over the gums can be a inflammatory gingival enlagement secondary to the irritation or trauma caused during crown preparation or it can be a periodontal abscess secondary to gum infection. Nothing to be panic consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is gingival enlargement you can get it removed surgically. If it is an abscess you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
