An x-ray, preferably OPG, would show the exact picture. RCT is also an option to save the tooth.

First of all it's difficult to tell any definitive treatment plan from your explanation since the depth of caries , the position of third molar and the chances of prognosis etc should be considered while coming to a conclusion on treatment plan. In my opinion if it's grossly decayed which needs root canal treatment and crown , then it's better to go for xn. Please do visit a near by dentist and do the needful.
