if the pain doesn't come from failed root canal treatment, re-treament of root canal is of no avail. If fratcure extends all the way down to root, it's probably hopeless. It's difficult to determine whether the tooth is restorable or not without clinical and radiographic exam. Seeing a prosthodontist is advised.
