    A hopeless tooth is a tooth that cannot be saved by root canal treatment or other procedures due to severe damage or infection, and would require extraction. There are no strict guidelines but factors like significant cracking, bone/nerve damage, or persistent infection beyond treatment indicate a tooth is likely hopeless. While a prognosis is not always definite, a hopeless tooth would not be expected to improve with treatment and extraction is recommended.
