Messschieber/Messzirkel
Explanation:
Ich denke, daß es sich hier wahrscheinlich weniger um Schienen handelt, als um medizinische Instrumente.
Knochen werden mit Messschiebern (die clippers) oder Messzirkeln (dividers) vermessen. Vielleicht gibt es auch noch andere/üblichere Begriffe dafür...

Hier noch zwei Quellen:

Medizinische Instrumente - M
http://www.m-e-dical.com/deutsch/mkat.htm

Alveolar length of molar toothrow (definition valid both for maxillary and mandibular toothrows): length of the toothrow from the anterior surface of the first molar near its junction with the edge of alveolus to the posterior surface of the last molar near its junction with the edge of alveolus, premolars not included (one of us: C. Groves), measured with calipers or dividers.
