Abstract
The implementation of synchrotron radiation X-ray microtomography for non-destructive visualization of the dental prenatal enamel microstructure of intact archaeological human deciduous teeth is presented and compared with the physical thin-sectioning of the same archaeological dental series. Prenatal daily enamel secretion rates, i.e. the distance between two adjacent daily enamel microstructures, have been measured with the two approaches. Results show a good agreement between physical and virtual histology.
