While the choice of treatment is always according to the patient, in my opinion this tooth can be easily saved by RCT. Since this is a first molar, it always plays a crucial role in chewing food. So even after you get it extracted you will mostly need to get a replacement of tooth done. For a single tooth replacement in the area of first molar, the most favourable choice would be na implant, which will cost you alot more that getting the RCT done. Thus you will hae to spend for both the extraction and replacing the missing tooth. Therefore it is advisable to get RCT done rather than going for extraction. ANSWERING TO YOUR QUESTION- the neighbouring tooth seems to encroach over the crown area of the offending tooth, but if the extraction is done properly, then it is highly unlikely of the neighbouring tooth getting affected by the process of extraction.
