I wouldn't make a habbit of using chipped gears but if you need to use that one, you should take a file and nock the rough edges off so you don't gall the ring gear. Just my o-pinion.

Dress it out with a file and forget about it.

Unless you really need to use it, you could always use it as a boat anchor.

It'll work, but not as long, and it will likely make a little noise, like a ringing type sound.
I have had a chipped pinion like that and never had a failure, but it was a little ringy.

well,it doesn't look like it is where it contacts the ring gear,it looks like it just missess it,but i can dress it up i guess,i just didnt want to have to spend another 150 on gears
