The author of the above statement might indeed have installed polymer fillings,
and they may indeed have worked well for the recipients of the fillings.
I have tried out polymer fillings myself, and they have never ``survived'' for
a longer time than one year. After that time they simply fell out...
To arrive to the conclusion that polymer fillings work for all humans seems
rather premature to me.
