Extraction would be better suited as re rct has lesser chances of success. However, post Extraction do get crown or implant within 6 months otherwise the empty space left might get cause the adjacent tooth to tilt.

Hi! Extraction would be the best option, but you can also choose to save the tooth by getting a re - RCT along with post and core restoration.

Hi sir
You can give a try for re rct because the bone around the tooth is still intact and less infection and you have bulbous roots so re rct with post and core and crown will definitely work

Hi,
You can try to save the tooth with re-rct followed by post and crown. But the prognosis is not good. Better option is to extract the tooth and replace with an implant at a later date.

Hello sir
You can give one chance to save the tooth by re-rct followed by post n core and crown
But if the infection does not reduce you will have to get the tooth extracted
Thankyou

Extraction would be best advised
Even if you do re-rct there is no required tooth structure to place a Cap....unless done with post and core
Next Steps
better do extraction followed by bridge or an implant so as to replace your extracted tooth....
because after extraction you will be missing your molar tooth....most important for chewing food....as well as if not replaced remaining tooth can shift to the gap and will compromise oral health slowly over time even though consequences won't be appreciated immediately.
thank-you 😊
