What are the thin, leaf-shaped structures that extend from the enamel surface toward the dentinoenamel junction (DEJ) called?

Explanation

Enamel lamellae are thin, leaf-like defects that extend from the enamel surface inward toward the dentinoenamel junction. In contrast, enamel spindles are short, linear structures near the DEJ, enamel tufts are small, brush-like defects at the DEJ, and perikymata are surface grooves on enamel.
