Proper xray has to be done for clear diagnosis so as to see the position of the underlying permanent tooth. Then only treatment can be planned accordingly.

Hello, First of all Don’t worry the scenario is very common.
if 75% of tooth structure is lost, the pulp must be exposed and inflamed ,
there is a procedure called pulpotomy, that helps preserve pulp present in root , and helps in preserving blood supply to roots instead of going for full rct .
I suggest you to upload some pictures, and get a x-ray to properly diagnose the tooth.
Next Steps
Consult and visit a clinic to proceed with procedure.
