Rct is done for a tooth when the decay has reached upto the nerves of the teeth and grafting is done for a sight where there is bone loss or deficient bone . Rct can be done in any and every tooth but it is the survival rate of ur tooth after the rct which is one of the major concerns for we doctors to decide wether or not should an rct be done .
So understand the reason of ur doctor why ur tooth can not be saved by rct . May be it is decayed upto that extent that it is difficult to restore ur tooth , hence ur doc maybe planning for extraction followed by grafting and an implant .
Next Steps
Share ur X-ray if possible , it might help us to evaluate ur situation.
