Occlusal conditions which vary significantly from accepted social norms for dental appearance may socially handicap an individual. An instrument is required by which socially unacceptable occlusal conditions can be identified by members of the public who have internalized society's norms for acceptable dental appearance. The factors identified in this paper make it possible to select a reasonable number (100) of models for constructing a measurement instrument which depicts the full range of occlusal patterns found in a natural population for use in assessing the social acceptability of occlusal conditions. This paper presents the methodology and process used to identify individual occlusal traits which tend to occur together in trait combinations or independently and their range from "normal" to extreme. Data on the frequency distribution of the individual COCSTOC measurements found in a natural population was subjected to a factor analysis which identified 18 occlusal patterns (combinations of traits) and five unique or independent traits or anomalies.
与公认的牙齿外观社会规范有显著差异的咬合状况可能会在社交方面使个体处于不利地位。需要一种工具，让那些已经将社会对可接受牙齿外观的规范内化的公众能够识别出社会不可接受的咬合状况。本文所确定的因素使得能够选择合理数量（100个）的模型来构建一种测量工具，该工具描绘了自然人群中发现的全范围咬合模式，用于评估咬合状况的社会可接受性。本文介绍了用于识别个体咬合特征的方法和过程，这些特征倾向于以特征组合的形式一起出现或独立出现，以及它们从“正常”到极端的范围。对自然人群中发现的个体COCSTOC测量值的频率分布数据进行了因子分析，确定了18种咬合模式（特征组合）以及5种独特或独立的特征或异常情况。
