Why did patients apply to this trial?

I've went to many dental places and I can't afford and I am denied to request a loan to cover my dental implants and hopefully this can help me to get implants and treatment that I need.

I've lost all but 4 front lower teeth to severe periodontal disease. Most have broken to below gumline. And barely able to chew food now. Multiple abcess for many years. Need help getting surgical extractions and implants. Health declining.
