Upper jaw RCT Crown fell
The tooth that had undergone Root Canal Treatment some time (few months) is bare now. The cap just fell off while I was chewing a chewing gum.
Could anyone recommend how mandatory it is to get it capped again?
Also...since the cap was specifically designed for this tooth, it should be still re-usable, right?

It has to be put back asap. Yes presently same may be reused but if delayed then size might change. So contact nearby dentist and get it re cemented.

Yes this cap should be immediately refixed, delay will cause migration and then you will have to remake the cap

Yes it can be cemented again but make sure you ask your dentist to cement it with resin based luting cement which is more durable
