The Faculty of Dental Medicine was founded at the Lebanese University in 1983, as a branch of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, and became independent by a decree issued on 6 April 1999.

Following the security events witnessed by Lebanon, the Faculty of Dental Medicine in Beirut was divided into Branches 1 and 2 between 1986 and 1996, and they were directly affiliated with the Deanship of the Faculty of Medical Sciences and managed by a Director or Coordinator.

The Faculty offers theoretical, applied and clinical training and organizes trainings, symposia and conferences in oral and maxillofacial medicine and surgery.
