There's no scope of saving the tooth if the caries has already extended deep inside. Extraction of third molar is a common procedure. Moreover there's no need of replacing the tooth.

If the caries have reached the root then extraction should be done. 3re molar extractions are done quite routinely. If any major concern or fear... Get extraction done from MDS oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
