龋病的患病率、分布和发病部位与中世纪苏格兰人以前的报告基本一致，即龋病主要是成年人的一种疾病，并显示出与现代龋病不同的位置分布。这一发现进一步证明，当时苏格兰的龋齿患病率低于英格兰。有人建议，对龋患率作出可靠估计的最佳方法是：(I)个人龋齿经历；(Ii)按牙齿类型和发病区域划分的病变位置；(Iii)每种类型的龋齿数量占该类型牙齿的百分比。
Dental caries prevalence, distribution and site of attack were in broad agreement with previous reports for Mediaeval Scots, namely that caries was principally a disease of adult life and showed a different location distribution from that of modern caries. The findings reinforce evidence that caries prevalence in Scotland was lower than in England at that period. It is suggested that reliable estimates of caries prevalence can best be made by noting: (i) individual caries experience (ii)lesion location by tooth type and area of attack, (iii) the number of carious teeth of each type as a percentage of teeth of that type present.
