Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
If the tooth is broken or fractured involving the third layer that is pulp, which contains nerve and blood vessels, then it has to be treated with root canal treatment prior to to the placement of the crown or cap. There is no need of surgery for this, it is a non surgical procedure.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
