Following is a description of an oral rehabilitative program–Amrithasmitham which has aimed at improving the poor quality of life experienced as a result of edentulousness among the indigenous populations of Kerala. It has been running for nine years in the tribal belts of Wayanad, Kerala since 2008. It thrives on the sense of social responsibility and accountability of the medical profession. This paper highlights the lessons learnt and aims to provide a model which may be replicated in unreachable locations or in geographically reachable yet physically challenged geriatric populations.
