The Faculty of Dental Medicine of Monastir (FMDM) (Arabic: كلية طب الأسنان بالمنستير) is a dental school in Monastir, Tunisia. It is the first school to be established within the University of Monastir, and it is the only institution for dental studies in the country.[3][4]

The faculty is under the dual supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Ministry of Public Health.[5]

Dental studies in Tunisia are reserved for a selection of the elites of high school students who have passed their baccalaureate, hence the fact that admission is exclusive to scientific branches having the highest score nationally.[6][7]
