It all depends on multiple factors if the decay is minimal filling can be done. If it's deep then RCT is contemplated. If the tooth is beyond repair it's extracted.

Well that totally depends on the involvement of the deeper layers of the tooth which can be assessed only clinically and supported by x Ray .
