From this x ray,the molar appears to have a fairly deep cavity close to the pulp,but the x ray alone cannot tell whether the nerve is irreversibly inflamed.
Next Steps
wait for 15 to 20 days but if there is spontaneous pain, pain on biting/ percussion, pain lingers after cold/heat than you are advised to undergo a root canal treatment.
Health Tips
you can go ahead with the deep restoration if everything remains fine for 15 days.

I suggest wait for 15 days more --such that after such a filling --the tooth needs time to heal and repair --if you still have pain then rct has to be done --and tooth can be saved!
