Dear sir, I would suggest to get an iopar taken first to asses whether the tooth actually requires a root canal treatment. Since it seems ur previous restoration is worn off and the tooth is just sensitive which could be due to secondary caries or leakage from d restoration, replacement of ur existing worn off restoration would solve d issue. This suggestion is just with d description u've given. The actual tooth condition and treatment may vary.
