Recrystallization
Recrystallization was the process of matter being reorganized into crystalline form.

Dilithium crystals could be recrystallized with various technologies. One such device was a dilithium incubator created by the Xahean Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po. (; )

Starfleet did not have the ability to recrystallize dilithium until at least the 2280s. During a time travel mission from 2286 to 1986, Spock and Montgomery Scott developed a method of recrystallizing dilithium through exposure to high-energy photons from the toxic nuclear fission reactors of that era.

In the 24th century, the theta-matrix compositor aboard the  starship  made the recrystallization process of dilithium ten times more efficient than on the older  ships. ()

The Enterprise-D recomposited fractured dilithium crystals while they were still inside the articulation frame. ()

The reaction chamber of the  was equipped with a compositor that allowed the recrystallization of dilithium. While stranded in the Delta Quadrant, the crew could never be sure when they'd be able to find a new supply. ()

In the 32nd century, Cleveland Booker had a dilithium recrystallizer aboard his ship. ()
