ABSTRACT:
A dental or medical instrument has a body configured to be hand-held by a practitioner and a tip extending from the body. The body has a randomly textured gripping surface. The gripping surface is sufficiently textured to prevent a practitioner's fingers from slipping during use of the instrument, yet has minimal microbial contaminant retention. The coupling of the tip to the body defines a substantially seamless coupling interface.
