This study aimed to evaluate two hydrogen peroxide (HP)-based at-home bleaching systems in order to analyze whether nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) addition may represent a reliable and safe solution for tooth whitening without altering dental microstructure and hardness. Human third molars (N = 15) were treated with two bleaching agents, one containing 6%HP (6HP) and the other 6% HP nHA-enriched (6HP-nHA) with average particle diameter ranging from 5–20 nm. Their effects on enamel were assessed using a spectrophotometer, Vickers microhardness (VMH) test and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), comparing the treated groups with the non-treated control group (CTR). Color analysis revealed improvement in whiteness in both groups compared to CTR. VMH test results showed no differences among the groups. SEM analysis highlighted no evident changes in the enamel microstructure of tested groups compared to CTR. At high magnification, in 6HP group, a slight increase in irregularities of enamel surface morphology was observed, while 6HP-nHA group displayed removal of the aprismatic layer but preservation of the intact prismatic structure. These results suggest that the 6HP-nHA agent may be recommended to provide reliable whitening treatment, without damaging the enamel micromorphology and hardness.

A recently found crocodylian tooth crown from the basal conglomerate of the Middle Paleocene (Selandian) Lellinge Greensand Formation, differs morphologically from other finds of crocodylian teeth from the Paleocene of southern Scandinavia. The tooth is conical and blunt with a narrow rounded apex, and slightly curved along the axis of its length. The morphology of the tooth suggests it belongs to either the longirostrine eusuchian Aigialosuchus, which is known from the Campanian of southern Sweden, or to a member of the Alligatoridae which are the most common crocodylians in northern Europe in the Late Cretaceous. Gavialoid crocodylians, in particular Thoracosaurus which is known from the Danian limestome of the Limhamn quarry in southern Sweden and from the Faxe quarry in eastern Denmark, can be excluded because of their deviating tooth morphology. Regardless of its assignment, the tooth is interesting in a stratigraphic context as it demonstrates the existence of at least two crocodylian taxa in Scandinavia during the Early and Middle Paleocene.
