The wise physician should extract it quickly; the commentary adds that drugs cannot cure it.

Krimidanta is described as a tooth with black holes, very loose, discharging pus without special cause and always aching (verse 51). Verse 79 refers back to the krimidanta measures for khalavardhana, where the extra tooth is extracted and its root burnt.
