Method for producing a dental or medical instrument

A method for producing a dental instrument or a medical instrument for grinding or polishing, comprising:

• providing a blank,
• subsequently coating the blank at least partially with abrasive particles by including the abrasive particles in a mixture with carrier particles and feeding the mixture onto a surface of the blank to be coated,
• melting the carrier particles onto the surface of the blank to be coated with a laser to fix the abrasive particles such that the abrasive particles are not melted and a portion of the abrasive particles protrudes above an exposed surface of the carrier particles melted onto the surface of the blank to be coated to provide an uneven surface, the uneven surface including:
• a plurality of peaks formed by the protruding abrasive particles;
• a plurality of depressions formed by the exposed surface of the carrier particles, the plurality of depressions interspersed between the plurality of peaks and having a lower height with respect to the surface of the blank as compared to the plurality of peaks;
• a topography between the plurality of peaks and the plurality of depressions, the topography being exposed;
• wherein the abrasive particles continue to have a same physical structure after the melting as when included in the mixture prior to the melting.
