How To Treat Swelling Of Gum Inside Cavity?

A while ago, I had a cavity that formed a large hole in the top of my tooth, that wound up actually cracking the tooth, so now my tooth is almost hollow, except for the piece that broke off, recently I noticed my gum has formed into the tooth, and has actually filled in the hollowness of the cavity, is this normal at all? and does it require surgery?
