Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study examined the effect of community characteristics and community health program on dental caries in children, considering health behavior as individual characteristics. The data of medical and dental examination for one and half years old and three years old was used. We explored the factor of increasing dental caries in children with and without dental caries, aged one and half years. This study indicates that fluoride application as community health program is more likely to prevent dental caries in children without dental caries than those who have dental caries.
