I'm so sorry I never saw this. Using the method described for a safe removal is the best way to do it, and to make sure that you have it done by quadrants. Now what do you replace them with is a great question. I personally had mine done with different type of composite material - however before I did that I had a test taken by some lab in Colorado that gave me a 100 page book of all the materials that my body had a bad reaction to. This was spendy but very helpful because I wasn't going to spend thousands of dollars to have 15 fillings replaced or removed without having a safe substance take their place.
