If the vertical fracture is observed beyond half the tooth length it has to be bonded and crown placed.
If fracture observed clinically does not corelate findings with actual complaint then there are more conservative procedures that u can opt for. Regards Dr nandish endodontist

Filling or bonding can be an option only if the pulp is not exposed.
If the pulp is exposed, then its for your benefit that Root canal traetment should be done followed by a crown.
