Re: Dentures

We always have referred to replacing all of the denture base with new
acrylic while retaining the old teeth as a re-base. Jumping a denture
duplicates the entire denture to give the patient a spare denture.

I'll ask my Dad next call to Florida, perhaps I have the terminology (for
"jump denture") wrong.
