Don't do any guess works with your health. Go for check up and x rays ( iopa) and go for the treatment adviced. If rct was adviced because of cavity then there will be bigger cavity now pulp of tooth is degenerated so no pain ! But what about lost tooth structure. It will slowly break down and ultimately extraction will be required you may not get the chance to save the tooth. Regards
