If the resorption is thru and thru at least some portion of the tooth is swiss cheese plus the associated bone loss around the area of resorption will generally not heal on its own. Given that, it's unlikely it can be removed in one piece.

Makes sense. Will certainly discuss it with the Perio beforehand to see if he concurs. Regarding the extent of the resorption, interestingly, the tooth looks and feels fine (would be easier to rush in if I was in pain). Damage is apparently below gum/bone line which is where the infection was.
