Hello!!
As a Root canal specialist I would always like to save teeth,especially the molars,as they are functionally very significant.
It all depends on the amount of remaining coronal tooth structure available for us to reinforce/rebuild the lost tooth structure,after the root canal procedure.If very little tooth is remaining,we can still do post and core procedures folloed by crown placement.
If the entire crown of the tooth is missing then removal and replacement with either an implant or a bridge would be a better option.
