Implants are probably medical grade steel of some sort.

Here we go-
"Types of Implants in Use Today

Endosteal (in the bone): This is the most commonly used type of implant. The various types include screws, cylinders or blades surgically placed into the jawbone. Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth. This type of implant is generally used as an alternative for patients with bridges or removable dentures.

Subperiosteal (on the bone): These are placed on top of the jaw with the metal framework's posts protruding through the gum to hold the prosthesis. These types of implants are used for patients who are unable to wear conventional dentures and who have minimal bone height."

Ref http://www.perio.org/consumer/2m.htm/

So you'd expect these to ransfer heat / cold fairly readily and yet that doesn't seem to be happening.

That can only mean no "nerves / pain receptors"in the surrounding tissue I think.

Will be back to read more later.
