| cavity preparation base | <dentistry> A layer of dental cement, sometimes medicated, that is placed in the deep portion of a cavity preparation to protect the pulp, reduce the bulk of a metallic restoration, or eliminate undercuts. Synonym: cavity preparation base. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Reid's base line | <anatomy, radiology> A line drawn from the inferior margin of the orbit to the auricular point at the superior border of the orifice of the external auditory meatus and extending backward to the centre of the occipital bone. It is used as the zero plane in computed tomography. (05 Mar 2000) |

| metal base | A metallic portion of a denture base forming a part of the wall of the basal surface of the denture; it serves as a base for the attachment of the plastic (resin) part of the denture and the teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peroxy-Y-base | <chemical> Tricyclic imidazo derivative of guanine Chemical name: 1h-imidazo(1,2-a)purine-7-butanoic acid, 4,9-dihydro-beta-hydroperoxy-alpha-((methoxycarbonyl)amino)-4,6-dimethyl-9-oxo-, methyl ester (26 Jun 1999) |

| complementary base pairing | <molecular biology> The pairing of complementary nucleotide bases (adenine and thymine, guanine and cytosine) to each other via hydrogen bonds from opposite strands of a double stranded nucleic acid (such as DNA or RNA), thereby holding the double-stranded nucleic acid together. (09 Oct 1997) |
| complementary base pairs | <molecular biology> The crucial property of DNA is that the two strands are complementary: Guanine and cytosine are complementary and pair up through their hydrogen bonds, as are adenine and thymine that only form two hydrogen bonds. (adenine and uracil in RNA). (18 Nov 1997) |
| wobble base | The 3' codon base that is less strictly specified in the genetic code. See: wobble, wobble hypothesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugate acid-base pair | In prototonic solvents (e.g., H2O, NH3, acetic acid), two molecular species differing only in the presence or absence of a hydrogen ion (e.g., carbonic acid/bicarbonate ion or ammonium ion/ammonia); the basis of buffer action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cranial base | The sloping floor of the cranial cavity. It comprises both the external base of skull (external view) and the internal base of skull (internal view). See: internal base of skull. Synonym: basis cranii, cranial base. (05 Mar 2000) |
