First of all the fractured cap should be removed and an Xray taken to evaluate the tooth structure. Post the removal of the cap and the radiographical evaluation shows that the tooth is fine please get the tooth re built and the crown re fabricated. If the pain persist and the X ray shows infection with the tooth then only RCT should be re done.
Next Steps
Visit dentist as early as possible to prevent further damage.

Remove old cap completely, assess tooth if any problm related to root canal it must be redone. If Rct is satisfactory then temporary cap can be placed for 4 to 6 weeks followed by permanent crown.

Hello Sir
Greetings of the day. You need to get an x-ray of the concerned tooth to know the exact damage to the tooth. If the x-ray shows a fractured part which can be rebuilt, the tooth will have to be built followed by the crown and if the fracture does not involve the tooth, the cap can be replaced immediately. If the tooth is broken beyond repair, it will have to be removed and replaced.
