I had that same tooth (but upper molar) extracted in 1972 while in the USAF (cracked vertically while I was chomping on ice). Being enlisted, pulling it is all they would do and needless to say I didn't have the money to get all the bridgework done (this was long before implants). 40 years later and the only mention I have ever have re: the gap is when I go to a new dentist, they always ask me how long ago was that tooth pulled.
No problems with it and even after I had the insurance / money to have it implanted I opted to just leave it be...
