The Carakasaṃhitā (Ci.26.122) follows Vaideha in acknowledging a number of sixty-four mukharogas (which are not described separately; the śālākya-tantra is referred to), divided into four main groups, caused by vāta, pitta, kapha, and concerted action (Ca.Sū.19.3 and 4; Ci.26.119-123). 311 A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 133) remarks that dantamūla designates the area of the jaw where the teeth are embedded, i.e., the parodontium. 312 Singhal c.s.: this seems to be a viral infection. 313 Singhal c.s.: this may be herpes zoster or furunculosis. 314 Tentatively regarded as an allergic reaction by Singhal c.s. 315 Tentatively identified as herpes labialis by Singhal c.s. 316 Tentatively identified as erythema multiforme by Singhal c.s. 317 Tentatively identified as a malignant granuloma or chancre by Singhal c.s. 318 Tentatively identified as leukoplakia by Singhal c.s. 319 See Gayadāsa's quotation of Bhoja's description of the traumatic type. Cf. Mādhavanidāna 56.2-10ab. 320 See on this subject: A. Vogel-Brauer (1964): 133-138. 321 Singhal c.s.: spongy gums. A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 133): stomatitis scorbutica; the author adds that the described symptoms do not suffice to establish this diagnosis. 322 Singhal c.s.: periodontitis. A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 137): a paradental abscess. 323 Singhal c.s.: pyorrhoea. A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 137): alveolar pyorrhoea. 324 Singhal c.s.: apical abscess, root abscess. A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 136): a paradental abscess or periapical parodontitis. 325 Singhal c.s.: palatal abscess. A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 135) remarks that this disorder resembles a stomatitis ulcerosa or gangraenosa. 326 Singhal c.s.: bleeding gums. Compare A. Vogel-Brauer (1964): 134. 327 Singhal c.s.: suppurative gingivitis. Compare A. Vogel-Brauer (1964): 134. Cf. Su.Sū.24.9. Compare Ca.Sū.24.12; Ci.12.78ab.

Called khalivardhana in the Mādhavanidāna (56.19), adhidanta in the Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.28.16). 330 Singhal c.s.: an impacted tooth. A.

Adhimāṃsa is often used in a general sense as an excess of flesh, for example, an excessive growth of granulation tissue. 331 Singhal c.s.: alveolar sinuses. These, being described already (Ni.10.9-14), are not characterized again. 332 Cf. Mādhavanidāna 56.10cd-19 and 21; 56.20 describes the disease called karāla, absent from the Suśrutasaṃhitā. 333 See on this subject: A. Vogel-Brauer (1964). 334 Singhal c.s.: odontalgia. A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 130): pulpitis acuta totalis. 335 Singhal c.s.: caries. A. Vogel-Brauer (1964: 130-131): parodontitis apicalis acuta. 336 Singhal c.s.: hyperaesthesia of the teeth. A.
