Find the model number of the crank (it will be marked on the back of the arms) and use that as a starting point for getting a replacement ring (would look at the other rings, as if you have more than one which needs replacement soon a complete crank could be cheaper in the long run)
I'll check it out. Pretty positive it's a Deore. But I'll look. The rest of the gears are actually good. A tooth is sheared off.
