Hi hope u didn’t do the protective cap after root canal treatment . If the teeth is restorable then can do some post and core build up and can be placed a crown . If it’s totally broken then the best thing is to remove it and go in for a fixed replacement solution like implant or bridge

If the crown (cap) was not placed on the rct tooth, there is a high tendency for tooth to break. One x ray would be needed first and then the treatment plan to be carried out.
