Hi..it can be treated with root canal followed by zirconia crown. Based on your details mentioned above , it seems to be deep cavity. So temporary solution is composite filling and permanent is root canal followed by zirconia crown
You can consult me on practo.com, Marathahalli, Dr. M. R. Pujari

It seems to be a grossly decayed tooth. The tooth structure must have become weak which must have fractured on application of forces during eating.
Next Steps
You must get it checked thoroughly by your dentist with the help of x-rays and clinical examination. The treatment can only be decided based on the teeth structure left after fracture of the tooth.

Hello sir, it appears to be a decayed tooth that got fractured, I would advise you to visit your dentist for a better understanding of your condition. If the tooth can be saved it would have to undergo RCT and crown. If not it would have to be removed.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist

Lost tooth??
U mean the whole tooth?
She fell somewhere?
Would be better if there was a picture
Based on how you are describing it looks like root stumps.
A clinical examination is required.
If the tooth has come out on its own then you need to see the dentist.
If there is any remanant part inside...it has to be taken out.
Next Steps
visit a dentist as soon as possible
