Schreger Lines

[DE&i]

Schreger lines in probosidean dentine were described by the German anatomist Bernhard Gottlib Schreger.

Would anyone have any images from his findings.

I don't have anything by Schreger, but here is a modern synthesis: Schreger Lines.pdf

Thank you 😊...id actually all ready had this one. Well done for making the file apparent to the others.

There's not a great deal of references on the internet in this particular subject. I wonder if anyone on the TFF would have any first hand knowledge in using the Schreger techniques.
