Sir, in such a situation if the part of tooth which is broken is less than 1/3rd then filling is done , but if's broken more than 1/3rd then RCT is done followed by capping.

Hello,
If the tooth is broken into half, it's important that a x Ray examination is done to see if there is any root fracture or if the pulp is involved. In case the fracture line is away from the pulp. A root canal is always preferable in a traumatised tooth to prevent any further damage in case vitality of tooth is lost. Better see a dentist & let him decide.

Depends on the extent of fracture and proximity of the pulp from the fracture line. A root canal may or may not be needed. Better to visit a dentist to make a sound clinical judgement and plan the treatment.

you should show it to a dentist. It may need a RCT as it had broken in accident. but it can be filled directly also, it all depends on the amount of fracture and the vitality of the tooth. we may have to take an x-ray and decide the treatment of the tooth.
