对478只年龄较大的绵羊的头部进行了详细的检查，使用门牙和面颊牙齿周围的软组织和硬组织测量，以寻找牙病的证据。几乎60%的人(全部超过2.5岁，平均年龄在7到8岁之间)要么牙齿松动，要么缺牙。面颊牙齿和/或门牙排列不齐也很常见。87%的人出现牙袋现象，并与牙齿松动显著相关。门牙和特定的面颊牙袋深度之间也有显著的关系。虽然发现了局部的牙槽骨丢失，但这并不能反映更广泛的骨骼退化。这项调查证实了全国人群中口腔骨折的高发生率，并表明无论在哪里发生门牙问题，都有可能也存在面颊牙齿疾病，这种关系在临床上不容易被认识到。
Heads from 478 aged sheep of a predominantly hill breed population were examined in detail for evidence of dental disease, using both soft and hard tissue measurements around incisor and cheek teeth. Almost 60% of this population (all over 2.5 yr of age and with a mean age between 7 and 8 yr) had either loose or missing teeth. Malalignment of cheek teeth and/or incisors was also common. Pocketing was seen in 87% of the population and was significantly correlated with tooth looseness. There was also a significant relationship between incisor and specific cheek tooth pocket depths. While local alveolar bone loss was found, it was not a reflection of more general skeletal deterioration. The survey confirms the high incidence of broken mouth in the national flock and shows that wherever incisor problems occur there is a likelihood that cheek tooth disease is also present, a relationship not readily appreciated clinically.
