I think OP said the sheathing was 3/4 t&g, not plywood or OSB. So 'wet'
really isn't an issue, unless it stayed wet a long time. Like the others
said, do it right, do a tearoff. And while deck is bare, walk around
with a big iron rod, and bounce it on all the usual suspect areas (like
around chimney, vents, ridge line, and any place the wood looks
different.) You will be able to tell the mushy spots by how the rod
bounces, and the sound. Any place that sounds different, poke with an
ice pick, and replace all the soft areas. The extra few hundred for a
complete tearoff is cheap insurance, IMHO, and makes the new roof look
better and last longer.
