Please visit your dentist. You surely require RCT . You may require post and core before putting cap. Any further delay may result in complete loss of tooth

Hi Sr,
As there is a hole it may act as a source of spread of infection so based on your tooth condition root canal along with crown is enough.In some cases there is a chance of infectious spread outside the roots in those cases additional procedures may be required
Health Tips
Avoid having hard foods over that region to save the existing tooth structure

You should visit nearest dentist. It must require RCT followed by crown. But for detailed treatment plan, would require X-ray
