walaikum assalam kindly attach clinical picture of your decayed tooth and x-ray for better guidance.
post radiograph( x ray ) of the tooth ...
upload periapical xray or pic of your tooth also
Hello. please upload the x-ray for the said tooth. in some instances grossly carious teeth can be saved but have a guarded long term prognosis. You will be asked to moderate your eating habits to prolong the treatment.

xray
Hello. the x-ray shows that the carious lesion is BELOW the bone level. In such cases it's always good to get it extracted and replace it. If someone ambitiously tries to save it, the Ultimate prognosis may be poor. hope this helps

dear Dr ayesha, after endo core built up, the tooth crown can easily be lengthened and a crown can be provided. if a tooth can be saved , it must be saved ! particularly when patient is keen
