Restore from backup.

You do have a backup, don't you?

You need to have a backup for any database you might want to restore, "critical db" or not.

If there's no backup, you're probably not getting it back. All database should have backups, critical or not. The only time I can see a DB not needing a backup is when it can be completely and trivially recreated from scratch.

Use your favourite search engine to search for undelete tools. There's a very slim chance that a tool may be able to undelete the database, though I haven't heard of anyone doing this successfully.

if the database was not backed up via sql server. Is the server/machine backed up. Speak to your windows administration team.

Depending on the backup methodology, this probably won't work,. If the database is online, the underlying files are "in-use" and conventional backups will not backup files that are in-use.
