Ergonomic Handle for Comfort and Control

Selecting the right handle is critical for reducing hand fatigue and improving clinical performance. LM-ErgoSense® handles provide a lightweight, non-slip, highly tactile experience and are considered one of the most ergonomic handle systems on the market.

• Oversized, comfortable grip
• Enhanced tactile sensitivity
• Excellent balance and control

Designed Specifically for Aesthetic Composite Restorations

Unlike general‑purpose instruments, LM Arte™ instruments were created exclusively for esthetic composite layering and morphology work, each with a distinct design, name, and clinical purpose. Their finer shapes, greater flexibility, and sculpting‑optimized geometries make them ideal for advanced anterior and posterior aesthetic work.
This makes LM Arte™ Dark Diamond a perfect complement, not a substitute, for the broader LM Dark Diamond™ range, which uses familiar instrument shapes for everyday restorative procedures.

Developed with StyleItaliano: Leaders in Modern Aesthetic Dentistry

The LM Arte™ series was jointly developed with StyleItaliano, a renowned international community dedicated to simplifying high‑level aesthetic dentistry. The founders recognized a gap: while materials for beautiful restorations existed, the right instrument shapes for consistently achieving them did not. LM Arte™ was created to fill that gap.
LM Arte™ instruments are therefore engineered to support precision in:

Layer‑by‑layer composite placement
Fine sculpting of anatomy and mamelons
Aesthetic contouring
Detail‑oriented finishing

Dark Diamond™ Non‑Stick Coating for Delicate, Aesthetic Work

The LM Arte™ Dark Diamond edition features the same advanced non‑stick coating used in the broader LM Dark Diamond line, but it is especially impactful here because the precise, delicate nature of aesthetic restorations requires tools that avoid pulling or dragging composite.
The Dark Diamond™ coating provides:

Smooth, precise non‑stick placement and sculpting even with delicate resins
Scratch‑resistant, hard yet smooth instrument tips
A dark, low‑glare surface for better contrast during fine detail work
Easier cleaning due to the smooth DLC surface

Why Choose LM Arte™ Dark Diamond Over Standard Instruments?

LM Arte™ instruments stand apart because they are not simply non‑stick versions of standard tools. They are purpose‑designed aesthetic instruments, each engineered for a specific step in advanced restorative workflows.
Compared to LM Dark Diamond™ instruments, LM Arte™ Dark Diamond offers:

More refined and specialized instrument shapes
Higher precision for aesthetic contouring and morphology
Instruments dedicated to specific anatomical forms and layering techniques
Finer, more delicate working ends for sculpting natural characteristics

This makes LM Arte™ Dark Diamond the ideal system for clinicians focusing on cosmetic, anterior, or detail‑heavy restorative dentistry.

LM Arte™ Dark Diamond Product Lineup

Designed specifically for aesthetic work, each LM Arte™ instrument is named for its function and ergonomically shaped for specific composite tasks such as layering, sculpting fissures, removing excess, and shaping fine anatomy.
These shapes are unique to the LM Arte™ line and distinct from the more familiar instrument profiles of LM Dark Diamond™.

Modella

442-443DDES

Especially fine and wide spatula for composite modeling.
Suits especially for the large tooth surfaces such as buccal surfaces of the incisors.
The wide spatula end flattens effectively the composite.
The flexibility, delicacy and sharpness of the tip helps to create precise, aesthetic details.
The spatula works well for applying the composite from a syringe.
Instrument is available with non-stick LM Dark Diamond™ coating.

Fissura

481-487DDES

A modeling instrument with extremely sharp pointed tips.
The conical tip is perfect for sculpting, with only one instrument, the anatomy of occlusal area of the posterior teeth.
The fine, probe shaped tip is optimal for modeling fissures and mamelons as well as for layering characterization composites and sealants.
The flexibility of the LM-Arte™ Fissura enables the gentle probing possible excess bonding resins on the tooth surfaces.

Eccesso

307-308DDES

An instrument designed for the removal of composite and bonding residue.
The special angulated working ends of the Eccesso are ideal for excess removal from cervical anterior and interproximal molar areas.
This fine but solid instrument is characterized by an optimized length, thickness and width of the blade.

Condensa

488-489DDES

A long and round plugger especially designed for modeling composite.
The angulated shanks of the instrument enable unlimited access to all cavities.
LM-Arte™ Condensa has both a thick and a thin tip which may be used in cavities of different sizes, in both anterior and posterior areas.
The rounded working end enables a delicate condensation of composite without any risk of sticking.

Applica

46-49DDES

A very thin and flexible spatula is designed for transporting and aesthetic modeling the composite.
The flexible working end sculpts gently and precisely composite layers imitating the natural shapes of the tooth.
The thin tip of the LM-Arte™ Applica enables the modeling in narrow spaces or against the matrix band.

Applica Twist

464-494DDES

Especially fine, flexible and narrow spatula for composite modeling.
With the LM-Arte™ Applica Twist it is very easy to model in the approximal spaces and marginal ridges in matrix.
Its bended tips allow reaching to very difficult areas without complicating unnecessarily the work position of the hand.

Misura

496-497DDES

A unique instrument for horizontal and vertical measuring of thicknesses of composite layers on the anterior restorations.
After the layering but before the polymerization of the dentine composite, the thinner, conical shaped tip is placed on the natural tooth enamel. This way the unpolymerized composite remaining under the conical tip will be gently modeled, leaving an optimal space (from 0,5 to 0,7 mm) for enamel composite layer.
The thicker, short tip of the Misura is placed horizontally on the margin of the prepared cavity so that the edge of the tip remains on the original enamel. This determines the right amount of transparent composite to apply on the finishing line.
As a result, the final aesthetic restoration consists of correctly calibrated opaque and translucent composites, preventing the unpleasant grey effect of the composites.

Posterior Misura

498-499DDES

Posterior version of the popular Misura instrument.
Designed for horizontal and vertical measuring of thickness of composite layers on posterior restorations.
The fork shaped tip of the instrument allows measuring and modeling of the composite wall with the presence of a matrix.

Replica Anterior

451-452DDES

Revolutionary instrument for anterior composite restorations combining simplicity and unique design.
The instrument boosts the entire workflow starting from precise adaptation, then pre-forming the surface anatomy and shape, and finally minimizing the finishing process.
Instrument is excellent for adaptation, shaping, and replicating surface anatomy of the tooth.

Replica Posterior

448-449DDES

Clever instrument designed for simplifying occlusal modeling of posterior teeth in direct composite restorations.
The instrument makes occlusal modeling fast, simple and predictable. Occlusal anatomy of single tooth can be made easily guided by the buccal cusps using replica technique with this specific instrument.
Instrument has one concave and one convex side.
