What is the ruling if the recovery period for a loosened tooth is not specified and return is hoped for?

Primary text
If there is no specified time limit for the tooth to return to its original state, judicial appraisal (*hukuma*) is required immediately to prevent neglecting the injury. Should the tooth subsequently return to normal, the previously assessed *hukuma* is voided, consistent with rulings in analogous matters.
