Radio reception on implants....

As a licenced radio amateur, I think I'm qualified to at least comment
on this one...
Any metallic surface, when in contact with another, is capable of
"semi-conducting".  If this happens, it acts like a diode, and can,
possibly duplicate the "detection" stage of a radio receiver.  Most of
the documented cases of oral radio frequency (RF)detection have occured
in the close proximity to a rather powerful RF field, typically, a
nearby broadcast band transmitter.  The usual combo of materials
involves a chrome cobalt partial with a clasp on a gold crown.  Could
this happen with implants?  With titanium against a porcelain metal?
Probably...
