New comer here and I'm very stuck at what path I should take with my teeth.

I've had several autoimmune markers come up in my blood and I'm wondering if my root canal tooth is involved in it. I'm attaching a pan and close up of the root canal tooth.

Here is what I need to decide:

1) Does tooth #11 which is showing some possible infection related to my autoimmune issues or is there no connection.

2) Should I just leave #11 as is or
a) Perform Apicoectomy
b) Extract

3) If I do extract, I want to get an implant (Zirconium instead of titanium).
a) Should I wait for the bone to heal or implant immediately.


I don't want to lose a front tooth as I'm still young and I haven't found any scientific data that back up an infected tooth with autoimmune issues. Will I just be wasting a tooth or is this a good shot at helping me heal.
