Abstract
Patient engagement and retention are fundamental challenges in dental research, particularly in longitudinal studies where consistent participant involvement is critical for data validity. This manuscript explores the effectiveness of interactive educational platforms in addressing these challenges by fostering informed participation, trust-building, and continuous patient motivation. By analyzing theoretical frameworks and prior empirical studies, this research assesses the potential of digital education tools to enhance participant literacy, satisfaction, and commitment in dental research. A structured methodology combining qualitative feedback analysis and observational outcomes is adopted to evaluate the role of digital platforms in improving retention metrics. Findings indicate that well-designed interactive educational interventions can significantly elevate engagement levels, reduce attrition, and enhance the overall experience of research participants, thereby improving research outcomes and ethical compliance.
