Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM. The cause of tooth fracture can be cavities, as they might be progressing from inside of the tooth toward outside. But there is nothing to worry, as they can be restored by root canal treatment, but if the infection has progressed very deep then you have to go for removal of the tooth. Bridge is also a good option for replacement of tooth. Hope it will help you.
